About this listen

If you want to discover the captivating history of Stalingrad, then pay attention...

The Battle of Stalingrad is rightfully known as the “turning point” of the Second World War. Before the battle, which took place from August 1942 until the beginning of February 1943, the Germans were victorious everywhere, despite some localized setbacks (for example, at Moscow in 1941). After Stalingrad, the Germans were constantly pushed back, with some notable examples being Kursk in the summer of 1943 and the Bulge in 1944.

During WW II, the Soviet Union suffered somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 million dead. For those of you in the United States and the United Kingdom, the death toll for those nations in the war was around 415,000 and 483,000, respectively. In the approximate six months of the Battle of Stalingrad, the Germans, their Hungarian, Romanian, and Italian allies, and the Soviets lost an estimated one million men.

In Stalingrad: A Captivating Guide to the Battle of Stalingrad and Its Impact on World War II, you will discover chapters such as:

  • Before the Battle
  • Fall Blau (“Case Blue”)
  • The Slaughter Begins
  • Soldiers and Generals
  • Schlacht an der Wolga
  • And much, much more!

Stalingrad

The heart of the audiobook focuses on the Soviet comrades' ridiculous capacity to remain plus, eventually, the power of Soviet generals to mount an effective counter-attack. A must-audiobook.

Excellent

Wow, if you have any concerns about WW2 then this is a basic guide. A true insight into the "hell" that both sides stayed in one of the rudest battles ever.

A real eye opener

The individual reports from both sides are gut-wrenching from the view of the common soldier, the complete disdain for life is brought out for all users to see.

Detailed description

Stalingrad seems a good balance between giving the details whilst remaining clear. Captivating History leads up to the results at Stalingrad with some background to the attack and its aftermath.
