What the Germans Knew | Operation Uranus Part I

In this new series of many episodes, we’ll detail how the Soviet counteroffensive at Stalingrad was planned, prepared and implemented, with the full course of operations from November 19 to 30, 1942. We’ll extensively cover both the Soviet and German perspectives. We’ll run this in parallel to TIK’s outstanding series “Battlestorm Stalingrad” which for sure all of you already follow, and we urge you to do so if not yet the case. This way we can mutually benefit from our studies, cross-check events, share and confirm interpretations, perhaps confront some of them, to provide our viewers an information level as never seen before.
In this first episode, we’ll see in what situation the German 6th Army was when the Soviet offensive prepared on its flanks, what was the state of mind of its leaders, what they knew about their peril and what they did to try and prevent it. This should answer many recurring questions people usually ask about “how is it possible the Germans didn’t see it coming” and “why didn’t they prepare for it”.
