BoS and Operation Uranus material online

[andyw248]

If you want to read some free material about the Battle of Stalingrad in general, and Operation Uranus specifically, there are a some good links. But before you read about these events, you probably want to get some idea about the "Eastern Front", specifically the air aspects.

 

For a basic understanding of Soviet strategy, and of the course of the war from a Soviet perspective, it's valuable to learn something about Georgy Zhukov: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhukov.

 

A history of Germany's Luftwaffe operations, with large chapters about the Eastern Front, can be found at: http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/AAF/AAF-Luftwaffe/.

 

Some good material about Operation Uranus is at:

and of course http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_uranus with good maps
