BATTLESTORM STALINGRAD E1 - The 6th Army Strikes!

you it was the 21st of July 1942 advancing eastwards across the sweltering step below that Don River was palaces 6th army most of the men marched on forts bolts in decent weather like this some of them motorized divisions could drive 200 kilometers in a single day their aim was to cross the Don bend strike into the city of Stalingrad then move southeast to take Astrakhan this would secure the northern flank of the other axis armies who are about to charge south into the Caucasus the main objective of the German summer offensive some of palaces divisions were currently tasked with guarding the Army's northern flank along the dawn this meant that the force directed against the Soviet Stalingrad front wasn't his entire army however the advancing portion was still a large force consisting of five foots infantry divisions one panzer or armoured division and two motorised infantry divisions totaling a huge 120 thousand men and 170 tanks plus more assault guns and tank destroyers as well contrasting this to the Soviet side we see a major difference in the quality of the opposing armies with the disintegration of Soviet forces during the initial stages of foul Blau the German 1942 summer offensive several Soviet reserve armies have been activated to defend the Stalingrad area as part of marshal Timoshenko's Stalingrad front two of these were the 62nd and 64th armies now arriving on the inside of the great Don River with orders to stand fast to the last man and not allow Axis forces to cross the Don called pack cheese 62nd army quickly began forming a bode line from klett skya on the dawn to szura vageena on the show ever while god of 64th army was hastily deploying south of the sure various soviets units would continue to arrive over the next few days hardly having enough time to do any digging in and those that did arrive lacked about a third of their light and heavy machine guns as well as other equipment Soviets rifle divisions were meant to have had nearly 11,000 men within them BOTS nineteen of Stalingrad France 38 divisions had fewer than 2500 men 14 of which had less than 1,000 and none of the others had over 8,000 even if they had been at full strength Soviets units would still be smaller than their equivalents axis counterparts which started the campaign with between 14 and 16 thousand men depending on the vision so to give a more accurate representation of the various unit strengths Soviets units will be downgraded in size so for example a Soviet division will be the size of a German brigade reflecting the number of men within the units this isn't a perfect solution but as a general measure it's a better way of representing the size differences it's also worth noting that these divisions were accompanied by other units including the two naval rifle brigades and eight officer cadet schools as Alexei I say ever has pointed out the use of military schools testifies to the intensity of the struggle and the critical situation in the southern sector of the front only in a truly catastrophic situation does the command refuse to complete the training of cadets as officers and throws them into battle as ordinary infantry 64th and 62nd armies had a combined total of one hundred and two thousand nine hundred and twenty-six men at this time supported by three hundred and thirty two tanks this was versus palaces attacking force of one hundred and twenty thousand men and one hundred and seventy Panzers not including German assault guns or tank destroyers perhaps half of these Soviet tanks were light tanks mostly T 70s while the majority of the German tanks were the medium Panzer threes and fours which were much more suited to tank versus tank combat in addition the Germans had ample anti-tank guns and significant infantry anti-tank capabilities and air support plus at this point the Germans were experts at combined arms warfare and will separate the enemy's tanks from their infantry and anti-tank guns isolate them and destroy them piecemeal so it's worth keeping this in mind that the tank versus tank numbers alone don't tell the full story but the axis did have major supply problems they were roughly 2,000 kilometers from Berlin and their logistical services were completely overwhelmed and had been for quite some time this was made worse locally by the transfer of forces to powers his army during the foul Blau campaign without the necessary logistical organization to compensate meaning Paulus had more forces than he should have had and wasn't getting any additional supplies for them worse supplies that should have gone through Paulus had actually been redirected south leaving 6th army even more short of badly needed supplies so bad were the supply services that's on the 21st of July general major Hellmuth Roma 3rd motorized divisions commander had to leave the entire 8th Infantry Regiment and other divisional elements behind so that the rest of the division could be supplied with fuel in order to keep the advance going the other divisions were suffering similar issues and they hadn't even got into the fighting yet let alone moved into the city of Stalingrad it's worth keeping this in mine as we continue this series the Germans were continually suffering from logistical problems throughout this campaign which impacted their conduct of it but despite these problems they had orders to advance and that's what they would do Paulus his plan of attack against the Soviets forces ahead of him was to use two wedges of Tanks to break through the Red Army defenses get to the Don River as quickly as possible then surround and destroy the Soviets in pockets west of the river it was a bold plan for the introverted commander of the 6th army general De Panne satrupa friedrich wilhelm ernst powerless at 52 years of age a capable staff officer and a good organizer powerless was a quiet but moody man who never lost his temper and didn't like it when others showed their emotions he was reserved tidy and always fretted over his personal appearance his love for Beethoven was only surpassed by his love for Adolf Hitler whom he considered a genius and an excellent leader for Germany and it was this man the man with slender hands who was going to lead his army into the hell of Stalingrad BOTS was he even capable of getting his men to the city in the first place 22nd of July 1942 a sweltering 53 degrees Celsius the mobile force of Paulus's 6th army was 14th Panzer Corps commanded by General de Infantry Gustav anton von Vitas Heim this consisted of 3rd motorized 60th motorized and 16th Panzer divisions moving from Bach of steyr 3rd and 60th motorized divisions reached klett skya by nightfall flanked by the 100th Jaeger and 113 infantry divisions of heights his 8th Army Corps a Jaeger or hunter division is meant to be a light spots fast-moving infantry division with fewer infantry regiments and lighter artillery than a regular infantry division the idea being that you can move quicker with less infantry and with light are to the BOTS zanna's one-hundredth Jaeger division actually had a new third Regiment attached to it this was povich's 360 9th reinforced Croatian infantry regiments also known as the Croatian Legion so while 100th Jaeger division did have lighter artillery it wasn't a weak division by any stretch of the imagination general major hands Valentin hooba and his 16th Panzer Division were further south they were supported on the right by the 290 7th and 71st infantry divisions of 51st army corps these crossed the sure River and continued east towards the Soviet defensive lines in preparation for the fighting ahead 16th Panzer Division split into four combat groups one of them was camped group Atman which was partly comprised of von strike that's his first Panzer battalion from 2nd Panzer regiments and three other battalions this was the same unforgettable hyacinth Graf Strachwitz mungro saga on kamenets who would later command the grouse Deutschland the regiment's take part in the Battle of Kursk and take part in operation double cop the semi successful rescue operation to free Army Group north from its pockets in the northern Baltics prior to the current pocket at the same time as 16th Panzer Division was forming camp crouppen so too was column ins 60th motorized Danzig division due to fuel shortages and the need to get to the dawn in good time it was decided to create a divisional combat group this group which I'm going to refer to as kampfgruppe 60 consisted of hoons one hundred and sixtieth panzer battalion the one hundred and sixtieth motorcycle battalion and one battalion of infantry at this stage of the war the German motorized divisions were equipped with one Panzer battalion each providing an armored spearhead and in theory making the motorized divisions almost as powerful as a regular Panzer Division there were discussions going on at the time about whether diluting the Panzer strength amongst the motorized divisions like this was right or wrong but the main thing to note is that both 3rd and 60th motorized divisions were equipped with Panzers at this time currently hoons one hundred and sixtieth panzer battalion had 54 Panzers and third motorized divisions one hundred and third Panzer battalion had 43 Panzers Huber's 16th Panzer Division had about 70 Panthers bringing palaces and Vitus Himes total number of tanks to about 170 above them flew the fighter aircraft and Ju 87 Stuka dive-bombers of general Oberst varam friar von Richtofen 'he's loft slaughter for Richtofen was the cousin of manfred von Richtofen the Red Baron from the first world war and had actually served in the same squadron with him he had extensive experience in the Luftwaffe having commanded units in Spain Poland and France on this day it's Hallion fighters from 21st grupo escorted Richtofen Stukas freeing up the german BF 109s to deal with the soviet il-2 z' yaks and lend-lease hurricanes of cry oaken's 8th army back on the ground the consequences of Timoshenko's failures during foul blow as well as all the times during the war so far led stalin to replace him on this day Vasiliy gourd of was made the Stalingrad front commander leaving the 64th army in the hands of Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov chew cough was an energetic but ruthless commander who had under Stalin's orders willingly executed his own officers during his command of the ninth army in the Winter War he had also seen action in Poland but had not until now led forces against the Germans the Stavka thought he wasn't untested and unknown general which he was but sukhov was about to become the central character in this battle perhaps the most important Soviet commander during the Stalingrad campaign however the replacement of commanders at this critical moment caused confusion for the Soviet troops under the 64th army and shook of barely had time to react to the events which were rapidly unfolding I'd like to give a special thanks to historian anton jolly who helps with the research for this series check out his youtube channel Stalingrad battle data link in the description one of Hitler's goals during his rise to power must to make Germany self-sufficient in resources because he rejected the idea of trading with international Jewish finance as he referred to it he believed that if Germany kept trading her industrial goods in exchange for food from all industrialized nations they would be able to industrialize ceased trading their food and caused Germany to starve in turn Hitler feared that this starvation would be exploited by the Jews who would wash it in a Marxist revolution and end the Aryan race and all of civilization so to stop this Hitler aimed to make Germany self-sufficient in resources and in order to become autarkic Hitler would conquer the lands of the east enslave their peoples and extract the food and oil that the industrial German Heartland needed to prosper but until this happened the Third Reich would suffer the food crisis was severe Germans had seen their food rations decreased in the May of 1941 Belgian - had gone on strike during the winter of 1940 in protest over their inadequate food supplies and Belgium prisoners inside jails were on 1,550 calories a day which was why they started to die of starvation in 1942 reacting to the shortage the Germans confiscated food from continental Europe starving the Greeks the Ukrainians and a million and a half Soviet prisoners of war in nineteen for one Hitler was adamant that everyone else would starve first before a single German went hungry of course the food crisis was made worse by the oil crisis in 1941 with the British blockade on-the-go Germany was in an oil deficit of epic proportions the European axis consumed nine million five hundred and fifty eight thousand tons more oil than it produced this was so bad that if there had been a second Romania supplying Germany oil in 1941 that still wouldn't have been enough to meet her demands worse fuel shortages led to the decline of harvest yields because tractors need fuel to operate further deepening the food crisis even transporting the food they had to where it was needed became problematic thousands of litres of milk went to waste in the French countryside every day because no petrol was available to ensure regular collections by December 1940 the kriegsmarine was operating at 50% of its oil requirements and the German army gave serious consideration to a partial D motorisation of its units this is despite the fact that the army was mostly horse powered anyway with only a handful of motorised and armoured Panzer units in operation their logistics were already so miserable as a result of the oil crisis and the large distances that's in order to relieve the strain on transportation and ease the food crisis German divisions were ordered to live off the land as they marched east this in turn led to the pillage and plunder of farms and cities in the occupied territories soldiers did not just take turnips and onions from the fields they raided almost every allotment or kitchen garden that they passed chickens ducks and geese were the favorite spoils of war because they were so portable and easy to prepare for the pot Clemens pas de villes a war correspondent attached to the 6th army described in his diary the arrival of a combat group from sixteenth Panzer Division in one village on the 30th of June following a sharp skirmish black figures jumped down from tanks and half-tracks suddenly a great execution is carried out the poultry with bloody ruffs and beating their wings in a paroxysm was carried back to the vehicles the men jumped back onboard the tank tracks ground the soil and the vehicles moved on again civilians who were deemed useful to the Germans were granted a food ration consisting of just 1,200 calories per day and their dependents 850 that's not enough to survive on Jews were given 420 calories basically nothing many more people in the towns and cities were simply starved in Kiev in 1942 the Germans began confiscating all the food and prevented food coming into the city leading to a decrease in the population by three hundred and fifteen thousand by October 1943 150,000 of car coughs 450,000 people would die of starvation by the end of 1942 others were shipped to the slave labor camps of the Reich to work to death again on starvation rations this was why Hitler was heading east Germany needed the oil of the Caucasus if I do not get the oil of Mayer cop and Grozny then I must end the war Barbarossa the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 had been launched with three army groups north center and south this had failed to achieve victory and had cost the German army severely in manpower and material for 1942 there was only enough oil manpower and material to launch one Army Group forwards and so Army Group south was reinforced the plan foul blough ordered the securing of the northern flank along the dawn and Volga rivers before driving south to seize the oil fields and farmlands of the Caucasus and this was what Paulus his 6th army was doing now advancing East to secure the northern flank in preparation for the drive south the city of Stalingrad wasn't importance at this stage not even to Hitler its capture was only to help secure the flank along the Volga nothing more however on the 23rd of July 1942 the window for operational success was closing logistics were breaking down stocks of fuel were running low and as we have already seen the troops were suffering from petrol shortages if Germany didn't get oil soon she would no longer be able to wage the war of movement she needed to wage in order to win the war and she would lose the static attritional war which would follow Wow had also seen the disintegration of the Red Army in the South giving the impression that the Soviets were on their last legs and were incapable of stopping the mighty German ver Marx from achieving victory Hitler and the army High Command had believed that they had just witnessed the Red Army collapse now in Hitler's mind the only thing stopping the Germans from getting to Astrakhan was the terrain and the fuel gauge he concludes that the Soviets will not be able to create a viable defensive position west of the Volga River because of this Hitler decides that now was the time to roll the dice once more rather than strike East to Astrakhan first form a northern blocking line then strike south to the Caucasus oil fields Hitler instructs Army Group B to strike towards Astrakhan while Army Group A moves south into the Caucasus this was his Fuehrer directive number 45 arguably the event that loses Hitler the entire 1942 campaign including the Voronezh area this order basically splits to half army groups over three strategic axis at the same time this was a big gamble but Hitler feels that there's no alternative as part of this order he sends four armies south in Army Group a 1st and 4th Panzer Army's 17th army and the Romanian Third Army Army Group B would consist of the German second Hungarian second it's Hallion eighth and the German 6th army x' 6th army was also ordered for the first time to actually take the city of Stalingrad for an eventual thrust on Astrakhan Hitler thinks the Soviets have been defeated and decides now is the right time to dilute his forces in the hope that they can get the oil he desperately needs bots he has misjudged the military situation in reality instead of defeated remnants palaces 6th army is now left alone to face the undefeated and quite powerful Red Army forces of God of Stalingrad front and other special thanks goes to Terry young the graphic designer who created the detailed maps used throughout this series check out her website Terry young designs doctor at UK link in the description in the scorching heat of the 23rd of July palaces mobile divisions advanced towards called patchi's embryonic lines slow MERS division supported by parts of zanna's and column ins divisions chocolates kiyah at zero nine hundred hours after a brief battle with the separated battalions of the Soviets four hundred and twenty seventh rifle regiment they then headed south one hundred and sixtieth Panzer battalion led the way for camped group 60 which pierced the enemy's lines at ten hundred hours BOTS stubborn Soviet resistance slowed their attack down so one hundred and third Panzer battalion was ordered to veer west to help them out this would hopefully catch the enemy ahead of camp group 60 in the flank scorn yeah coughs 40th tank brigade responded by counter attacking one hundred and third Panzer battalion part of which hence first company was caught in a gully and attacked on all sides then when scorn Yaakov's Brigade attempted to outflank one hundred and third Panzer battalion one hundred and sixtieth Panzer battalion from 60th motorized division appeared and hit them hard in this meeting engagement the Soviet tanks got pummeled the Germans counted 21 Soviet t-34s and kV in this action south of Patton off it's not clear how many German tanks were knocked out but there was only a handful of casualties in this action for both Panzer battalions meanwhile the forward units of your Feng cos 33rd guards rifle division 84th guards rifle regiments were hit by 16th Panzer Division and despite stubborn resistance by their aunt tank Gunners were compelled to fall back Huber's Panzers reached the area 10 kilometers from Kapaa cheese main defenses along the de briare river volcans 140 7th Rifle Division also reported its forward units were engaged against motorcycle infantry from feathers 290 7th Infantry Division clearly called pack cheese right wing was smashed but he tried to make the most of it by not reporting at first that's occurring cos 190 2nd Rifle Division was withdrawing when he did report it later that evening he made sure to mention that it was alright because his 40th tank brigade was striking back of course this counter-attack had already failed but there was no need to admit that to the higher-ups at this time in the air 6 on escorted Ju 87 Stuka dive-bombers were set upon by 5 yak-7 bees a new Soviet aircraft design where the German or Italian fighter escorts had got to is not clear but the inexperienced and ill trained crews of the Soviet aircraft had a difficult time of it as it was the Soviet flight leader had to attack the same bomber 18 times in order to bring it down and his own aircraft had so many holes in it that he had to make a forced landing himself he was no wonder that the German pilots felt so superior to their Soviet counterparts it was now that Hitler realized that the 6th army required more armored supports if it was to take Stalingrad on the March he therefore assigned Langham ins 24th Panzer Corps to palaces army this consisted of just one division but it wasn't an important one how in the shells 20 fourth Panzer Division this had initially been the first Cavalry Division before it was converted to a Panzer Division this was why they had the leaping horseman symbol as its logo BOTS don't be fooled by their previous role this was an elite division with experienced men within it and we'll be seeing this unit a lot during the series and Haldor chief of the general staff for the army High Command is not happy with this move calling it a diversion of resources to 6th army furis situation conference in consequence of the concentration of Army ordered by the Fuhrer on the 17th of July over my opposition and the diversion of 24th Panzer Division to 6th army directed by him on the 21st of July it is becoming obvious even to the layman that the rust of area is crammed with armor which has nothing to do while the critical outer wing of Timmy n skya is starving for it I warned empathically against both of these developments now that the result is so palpable he explodes in a fit of insane rage and pearls the gravest reproaches against the general staff this chronic tendency to under 8 enemy capabilities is gradually assuming grotesque proportions and develops into a positive danger the situation is getting more and more intolerable there is no room for any serious work this so-called leadership is characterized by a pathological reacting to the impressions of the moments and the total lack of any understanding of the command machinery and its possibilities foul Blau wasn't going so well but it would be a mistake to say that Paulus didn't need 24th Panzer Division right now 6th army was going to need all the help he could get and even howler didn't realize that at this stage so with this additional tanks port Paulus decided to revise his plan of attack Vytas Himes 14th Panzer Corps and Heights his 8th Army Corps would attack from the north towards the Don River at collage at the same time 24th Panzer Division with 51st army cores three infantry divisions would strike through 64th Army's lines south of the show River and advance to Kailash as well these two moves would encircle the Soviet 62nd and 64th armies west of the dawn and allow Paulus to crush them completely at which point there would be nothing left to stop 6th army from taking Stalingrad on the March with an attack about to hit them 64th army was hastily digging into its new positions however apart from sergeant's two hundred and twenty ninth Rifle Division which had relieved the 196th Rifle Division and now occupied their trenches the rest of the units in 64th army found nothing but open ground on which to prepare their defenses essentially they weren't ready at all for the incoming axis attack and worse their new commander was in trouble chew cough was flying over the battlefield this day in an unarmed reconnaissance biplane when a german ju 88 appeared in the sky guns fired true coughs pilot tried to find some cover in a village or a ward but the steppe was barren after several more bursts shook off spy plane was hit it fell from the sky and when the machine impacted the ground its [ __ ] in half and burst into flames luckily shook off and his pilots were thrown out of their aircraft on impact with the ground just as the fire started somehow they both walked away with only minor bruising the reason why they survived was probably because they were flying so close to the ground in a slow-moving aircraft that the impact wasn't so fast but either way it was certainly a close call for general Chuikov 24th of July 1942 marching forwards 290 7th and 71st infantry divisions of General de artillery vaulter Vaughn side lit skirts backs 51st army corps assisted later in the day by 24th Panzer Division when it got to the front attacked eastwards along both banks of the show there was no defense in depth in the 64th army area so shattered forward units roamed around confused and disheartened whilst the Luftwaffe circled overhead happily dropping their bombs on them without mercy these forward units scarpered back to 64th Army's main line which the German divisions now closed up to in response to cough ordered his newly arriving units solid gobs 112 Rifle Division and the 66th naval rifle and 137 tank brigades into the nurse nature sky area to form some sort of defense in depth the initiative lay in the hands of the enemy who it must be said have prepared for this offensive thoroughly the 64th army had only just consolidated this line of defense was without well-equipped positions and without well-organized transport of military stores and rations the Army's rear stretched as far back as tula the bulk of 16th Panzer and 100 and 13th infantry divisions smashed through 62nd army center and pushed Coll Pacis forces back and other 15 kilometers towards the dawn to the north 3rd and 60th motorized divisions caught through the remaining defences of a hundred and ninety second Rifle Division whose headquarters had been overrun and began to advance southeast but fuel was short so only the best vehicles in camp group 60 got some and third motorized division had practically run out of fuel by this point only having enough for a small combat spare head leaving elements behind to wait for fuel these camped group n' wheeled south at noon with third motorized division spearhead taking the village of buzzing off curve here they repulsed enemy tanks which were trying to break through to the north despite the fuel issues and the resistance camped group 60 reached the village of Oz in of ski that's evening elements of Shlomo's spearhead went even further and arrived at lippel agofsky they had gone 50 miles and Shlomo's division was now less than 10 kilometers from Kailash effectively these two divisions had thrust a long shadowed spear of armour and motorized inventory running from class kya to the Don by the evening Vitus Himes 14th panzer corps with a hundred and 13th infantry divisions help had encircled 1/3 of cold patches army on the high ground east of perilous offski colonel Constantine's arrived Lev from 60-second Army's command was flown into the pocket to take overall charge of the unit's inside which included almost all of Advent cos 33rd guards Rifle Division all of coitus 180 4th rifles division scorn Yakov's 40th tank brigade and 640 fourth tank battalion most of a hundred and ninety second Rifle Division was inside the pocket as well because their rifle regiments had withdrawn south rather than to the area east of class where there over on headquarters had fled to and the headquarters of the 184th rifle division had also been overrun leaving the pockets without a central headquarters or chain of command to lead it sir a flare would have his work cut out for him however the pockets wasn't fully closed due to the fact that most of itis Himes units were so crippled by fuel shortages that they couldn't actually reach the required areas in order to solidify the ring to the south 180 first and 140 7th rifle divisions managed to hold the center of the front against the Austrian 44th Infantry Division's attacks and Colonel tannish Indians 13th tank corps had also been thrown in to battle who baz Panzers thoughts these actions words enough to excuse the fact that the axis had clearly smashed the Soviet defenses cold patchy was even compelled to admit to his superiors that he didn't know when most of his units were since he had lost communications with them clearly the situation was once again slipping beyond the control of the Red Army both Gordo and Vasilevsky could see that 62nd and 64th armies needed support vasilevsky therefore proposed to stalin and they mount a counter-attack with two new armies the 1st and 4th tank armies which were moving to the area at first Stalin was reluctant to commit to this counter-attack bought Vasilevsky managed to persuade him and it seems that from that moment onwards Stalin was determined to mount the attack the appropriate orders were therefore issued to 1st and 4th tank armies and the tables were about to be turned against the 6th army 25th of July 1942 in the north the camp grouping from 3rd and 60th motorized divisions had to siphon fuel from some Panzers in order to keep the others going but going they did with both camp grouping advancing south towards Kailash 3rd motorized divisions artillery fired on the wooden kailash bridge but despite some direct hits it's held 88 millimeter flak guns were set up in support of files 53rd motorcycle battalion which also fired at soviet reinforcements moving across the river one of those reinforcing units was leopard anchors 55th tank brigade in fact Leba denko's own tank almost went into the water as a result of the german fire boats lebedenko had successfully crossed the bridge as had lava devs 56th tank brigade both of these units were from Rodin's 28th tank corps itself the first unit to arrive from major-general moskalenko x' 1st tank army such was the desperation to reinforce 64th and 62nd armies and the dawn bend that the third part of Rodin's corps hadn't yet arrived and not all of the first two parts had arrived either while these units crossed over the dawn camp coupes 60 captured the hamlet of Loski and to the soviets it looked like it might reach kawatche so capatch he ordered that Rodin's 28th tank corps mounts a counter-attack to smash 14th Panzer Corps spearhead general Pushkin deputy front commander also ordered an attack towards the village of Loski when asked if the tanks would have artillery support skinned replied very little in fact there won't be any however Roden of 28th tank corps decided that the overall situation was so critical that he had no choice but to commit his troops piecemeal against the third and 60th motorized divisions forward units thus lebedenko s-- and Lebedev's tank brigades attacked northwards a wall of Soviet steel aiming to shatter the German spear would they succeed will the Germans have the strength to stop them we'll find out next time thanks for watching bye for

Just don't watch his non-Battlestorm stuff, he has some weird ideas (especially with regards to equating Nazis and socialists)
