Stalingrad is burning. The Luftwaffe is bombing the city constantly. In the steppe
some 40km away from Stalingrad, people can read newspapers by the intensive fire
in the city.**
09/02*
At Stalingrad, 6th Army still can't break out. Soviet 62nd Army evades the closing trap.

09/03*
The German 6th Army, now united on a wide front, from Rynok to Pitomnik, west of Stalingrad,
begins the direct assault on the city. Zhukov launches a counterattack from the north of Stalingrad,
into 14th Panzer Corps with First Guards Army, but the attack is slow to form, as some units
are not in position at "H" hour, and achieves only a minor advance in some areas.
In Stalingrad, General. Alexander Lopatin, commanding the 62nd Army is fired by Yeremenko.
Lopatin thinks that it is unpossible to hold the city.**

Again the Luftwaffe is bombing the city. Thousands of civilians are killed. Others are escaping
over the Volga river by rescue boats. The Lufwaffe is attacking these boats too.
The Soviet airforce was not capable to stop the murdering attacks of the Luftwaffe.**
09/05*
A new Russian counterattack is unleashed north of Stalingrad. Unable to break through the
German lines, the Russians nevertheless continue to apply pressure in the area for two full weeks,
drawing off German strength from the center of the city.**
09/06*
The German Panzers are losing their mobility when they are entering the city.
They are easy targets for the Russian resistance. For the Germans it seems that what
happened before in Rostov will happen again. Fighting for every street and building.
Panzers are useless in streetfighting.**
09/07*
Hitler is getting nerveous. He declares that the city needs to be taken against September 15th.*

09/15*
The Romanian Third Army reaches the outskirts of Stalingrad. Covering the long left wing of
6thArmy, the Romanians are thinly deployed. The fight for the city on the Volga is now
a house to house slugging match, with the 48th Panzer Corps in between the 62nd and 64th
Armies. Amid the debris of the city, the Russian defenders adopt fast moving, small unit tactics.
The Germans dub the fighting at Stalingrad the "Rattenkrieg" or Rats War.
In the early morning the 13th Guards division is crossing the Volga.**
09/16*
Heavy fighting in the city when 24th Panzer Division "meets" the 13th Guards Army near

Heavy fighting near and in the grain elevator. The Russians won't surrender. But the Red Army
can not hold the building.Germans and Russians are so close to each other that they here each other breathing.
Again, Zhukov launches a counterattack into the northern flank of 6th Army. Positioning his
First Guards Army against the German 8th Infantry Corps, he hopes to break through what
appears to be a weak point in the line. It is actually only a forward position, and the attack
runs headlong into very strong German defenses further back from the initial battle lines.
As in the past, the fruitless attacks serve more to siphon off German
resources that would have otherwise been employed against Chuikov’s men. Thousands
of Soviets are killed in the attacks, which continue for several days.
