Germans Lose Last Stalingrad Airport
Thursday, January 21, 1943 www.onwar.com

On the Eastern Front... Soviet forces at Stalingrad capture Gumrak Airport. The German 6th Army, in Stalingrad, is now completely isolated. Meanwhile, the Red Army takes Voroshilovsk between Stavropol and Armavir.

From Morocco... The Casablanca Conference: the Anglo-American strategy discussions continue. . A joint Anglo-American statement on strategic bombing is issued to British and US bomber forces in Europe (the Casablanca Directive). The priorities reflect US thinking about precision bombing. The RAF Bomber Command will continue its policy of area bombing.

In New Guinea... Japanese resistance at Sanananda and Giruwa wanes. There are only isolated pockets of Japanese remaining.
