World War II - Case Blue

Time: Sunday Jun 28, 1942

Place: Voronezh and Rostov to Stalingrad, Kuban, Caucasus, U.S.S.R.

Details: The Germans launched their main summer offensive against southern Russia in June 1942, to seize the oil fields of the Caucasus and occupy Kuban steppe, while maintaining positions on the northern and central areas of the front. The Germans split Army Group South into two groups: Army Group A advanced to the lower Don River and struck south-east to the Caucasus, while Army Group B headed towards the Volga River. The Soviets decided to make their stand at Stalingrad on the Volga.
