Stalingrad Comments

[Ricky B]

Actually, Stalingrad is north of the east-west line through Rostov, and I believe the best railroad to the city ran up from the southwest, along the route followed by Manstein/Hoth's relief effort. That was part of the reason for the relief effort being launched from that direction, along with the surprise factor since it was further from the 6th Army lines.

Based on the actual rail lines, at the least, the supply along the southwest map edge should be as high as on the west map edge, as all the supply funneled through the Rostov area and that was to the southwest of Stalingrad.
