Heavy fighting in Stalingrad
Saturday, September 19, 1942 www.onwar.com

On the Eastern Front... General Yeremenko, commanding the Soviet Southeastern Front, reports that German forces have been consolidating their gains in the city of Stalingrad during the day. Towards evening German units pressed Soviet forces in the city center. Attacks from the south were repulsed. The Luftwaffe carried out about 300 sorties, focusing on the Red October area, the city center and Beketovka. Soviet ferries crossing the Volga were under heavy fire from artillery and mortars throughout the day.

Stalingrad is one of the reasons people are so scared of urban warfare.

NAZI’s mass executions in France, what do you think the Vichy-ites thought of that?

Can you imagine a country losing 67% of its force? That would have to be demoralizing
