BATTLESTORM STALINGRAD E4 | Hoth's Panzer Drive

With Paulus's 6th Army stalled near Kalach, Hermann Hoth's 4th Panzer Army is ordered to strike towards Stalingrad. This move splits the Soviet 51st Army in two and forces the Soviets to improvise a southern defense of the region. As a result, Vasily Chuikov is given a new command - over the 64th Army's Southern Operational Group. Chuikov attempts to form a line as the chaos overwhelms the men of the 208th Rifle Division.

ABOUT TIK

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.

This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
