Halder blames Hitler and Paulus! BATTLESTORM STALINGRAD E18

As the Battle of Stalingrad rages, Franz Halder tries to shift the blame to Hitler and Paulus in order to cover for his own mistakes... at least, that's one theory as to what happened at the Vinnitsa Conference on the 12th of September 1942. But it's not the only event that happened that day. Chuikov is also made 62nd Army's commander, and crosses the Volga into the city of Stalingrad in order to take command of his new forces. We also see the last gasp of the 1st Kotluban Offensive, Zhukov's account about a meeting he had with Stalin (which may not have even happened), and take a look at the state of both German and Soviet formations on the eve of the city fight itself.

Today we're going to take a look at the new Stalingrad City Map, pointing out some of the famous landmarks from the battle (e.g. the Grain Elevator, and the Tractor Factory). And I'm going to let you know about the new Stalingrad schedule, plus discuss some of the mistakes I made in episodes 16 to 18 of the Stalingrad series.

In this history documentary, we’ll see how close Paulus’ infantry and StuGs came to Chuikov’s headquarters, with the commander of the 62nd Army having to throw in NKVD police, militia units and dogs to try and stem the tide!
