New Stalingrad Movie

RE: New Stalingrad Movie
Weak leadership i.e Von Paulus vs Megalomaniac i.e Hitler....Hitler was obsessed in the end by the City because it bore Stalins name...

Even the famous Mantstien should get some stick for it..he should have stepped in and ordered the retreat bypassing Hitler..but again was to weak to stand up against him.

Stalingrad was one of the largest industrial centers.

Positioned on Volga River, which made it a key route between the Caspian Sea and northern Russia. Its capture would disrupt commercial river traffic of war commodities and "Lend Lease" materials.

Ego:
Plus sides thought it had propaganda value based on it bearing the name of the leader of the Soviet Union.

That being said.
General Paulus could have broken out of this trap in the first stages of attack but was forbidden from doing so by Hitler and thus doomed the Sixth Army and it's 250,000 to 300,000 men.
