1942年11月下旬,苏联军队在俄罗斯城市斯大林格勒外的一个口袋里包围了保卢斯的第六军。作为回应,德国人计划了一项救援行动,即“冬季风暴行动”,旨在突破苏联军队,打开口袋,释放被包围的部队。第六装甲师是德国救援部队的先锋。这次袭击始于1942年12月12日,在苏联猛烈反击后于12月23日中止。这次失败决定了德国第六军在斯大林格勒的命运。这篇关于这次行动的报道最早于1961年用德语发表,作者是备受尊敬的军事历史学家、退休的德国军官希伯特·霍斯特。它涵盖了从11月中旬的局势到德国的两次进攻、苏联的反攻和持续战斗的整个行动,直到1月初。
On to Stalingrad: Operation Winter Thunderstorm and the Attempt to Relieve Sixth Army, December 1942 [Audiobook]
In late November 1942, Soviet forces surrounded Paulus’ Sixth Army in a pocket outside the Russian city of Stalingrad. In response the Germans planned a relief operation, Operation Winter Storm, intended to break through the Soviet forces and open the pocket, releasing the encircled units. The 6th Panzer Division was the spearhead of the German relief force. The attack started on December 12th, 1942 and was aborted on December 23rd after heavy Soviet counterattacks. This failure sealed the fate of the German 6th Army in Stalingrad. This account of the operation was first published in German in 1961, written by the well-respected military historian and retired German officer, Schiebert Horst. It covers the entire operation from the situation in mid-November through the two German offensives, the Soviet counteroffensive and ongoing fighting until early January.
