The Battle For Stalingrad #3: The Battle Of The Factories 14 October- 19 November 1942 (2003) By Hans J. Wijers

 

This book provides archival documents and maps that contain unprecedented information about the two-month struggle between the German Sixth Army and Soviet 62nd Army for possession of Stalingrad city and its infamous factory district. While revealing the complexity of the struggle, it also focuses on the momentous fighting that took place on Stalingrad's “near” flanks and offers vivid evidence of how newly released archival materials will fundamentally alter previous perceptions about the fighting.

 

Since August 1942 the attack of the 6th Army assaulted Stalingrad. Now it has this important industrial city in an iron grip. After the last combat in September, the Battle for Stalingrad now enters the winter. The Grenadiers partially stand in the city centre of Stalingrad. The regiments of the 71st Infantry Division (General von Hartmann) have penetrated deeply into the inner city and have reached the banks of the Volga there. In the south, as well as in the north, armoured units (16th Panzer Division and 24th Panzer Division) have taken positions in the Stalingrad suburbs and there stop the Russians, who are attacking continuously.

 

Now the northern part of Stalingrad, where the Russians still hold the bigger industrial estates, is to be the scene of the decisive attack. The last positions of the Russians are to be taken from both the south and the north. Before the onset of winter, Stalingrad was to be in German hands.
