- Army University Press in association with the Combined Arms Doctrine Directorate presents an overview of the German invasion of the Soviet Union in its documentary film, Stalingrad: The Campaign. Opening with Operation Case Blue in 1942, this documentary covers the German advance east and its eventual culmination. The film concludes with the Soviet counterattack, Operation Uranus, and the surrender of the German Sixth Army in February 1943. This film also highlights current U.S. Army doctrine as it relates to large scale combat operations, most notably in offensive operations, counterattacks, lines of communication, and sustainment of tempo.

As a shut-in, disabled vet I want to say how much
I appreciate your excellent channel.
I love studying history and it's channels like yours
that help bring the classroom to my bedside.
Thank you for sharing these thought-provoking programs!
This is an exceptional educational documentary that describes the Stalingrad campaign in full detail from the perspective of military planning and doctrine.
These videos about the battle of stalingrad are pure gold.
Agree, brilliant analysis
Well done .. The 48th panzer corps was a seriously understrength unit that had suffered from mice chewing on wires in tanks. It sounds like Hitler had lot of short circuits. The round trip to the Caucasus was no help.
All the mispronunciations are killing me.
it must have been such a wild time... Can`t imagine how a modern siege would be.
I'm a simple man. I see ''Stalingrad'', I press Like!
This is the absolute best documentary on Stalingrad I've ever seen. These videos are glorious.!!!
Holy mother of God! Your channel is pure gold. And you will never run out of stuff to cover. I am looking forward to it!
Another fake profile saying how this channel is "pure gold" bullshit.
@@petert9110 As I read the comments, I'm inclined to agree; very few seem to be about the subjects at hand - all full of hyperbole.
This is a wonderful documentary. Great job, guys. You guys totally killed it, this reminds me of old history channel documentaries but with more in depth info. I loved those documentaries, and I love this one.
Your comment is very encouraging for a film-maker! Thank you!
The whermact was just stretched too thin. Logistical requirements could not be met! The German soldier was better
@@joannsissy4768 The German soldier was trained. Your average Russian was handed a rifle (or maybe a 2x4 and some rocks) and given some key words of advice, then sent on his way. The difference lay solely in training.
@@saml7610 At the start of Barbarosa the Soviet Union had the largest army in the world with more tanks then all the western powers combined. Those 5 year plans were no joke, 3,000,000 kulak and peasants were starved to death or sent to the gulags for resisting collaboration. The leader of this mass murder was the Jew commisar lazar Khrushchev was one of his lieutenants. Stalin sold grain and oil to finance a ruthless mass industrialization. Stalin moved 60 divisions opposite the ploesti oil fields Germany's only source without it they would be defenceless. Stalin's aim was to bolshevise all of Europe fulfilling his hero's , LENIN'S,dream. So I think they were trained!
Love the real Situational Template-feel of the graphics. Very professional presentation. Brings back memories of the S-2/S-3 working together over the same maps.
Thank you for weaving explanations current U.S. Army doctrine into the video. As a civilian viewer, the additional layers of explanation really help :)
NEVER have I seen such well presented information on the Stalingrad battle.
This gives me a completely new understanding.
Kudos.
It’s full of mis information..there was no such thing as “army group A or B”..the handbook he refers to wasn’t written until after the war..Germans didn’t have “cores”they had divisions and mechanised not “motorised” brigades..and the Germans attacked from north and south not what he said..
дебилы вы, войну на диване еще рассуждаете... Видать урок не усвоили.
This is going down as top 2 ever greatest Stalingrad documentaries. The other being the Battlefield series narrated by Tim Pigget Smith, whom does a much better job with pronunciation of German words & European names. Anyhow, this one is much more current & utilizes excellent new technology in animation. The maps, diagrams, models, etc were the most detailed I've seen of Stalingrad. The 3D display is almost as good as a satellite image. Thanks a ton for loading this ! 5/5 Stars.
obergruppenfuhrer Sang-Froid I totally agree on Tim piggot Smith being the best WW2 narrator-..
But havnt seen this doc yet...
Looks good though :-D
If you dig this episode's coverage of the big picture, here's a brilliant operational-level documentary series on the campaign: ruclips.net/p/PLNSNgGzaledi9jQeOzCUtBP2pxYdCYiXX
Nope. I'm putting this with the worst of Stalingrad documentaries. Very boring.. I made it 20 minutes in before being sick of brain drifting off.
@@w.t.fpipedreamwithhopefull5538 Yep, that's Staff College material for ya. Rezpekt for trying.
obergruppenfuhrer Sang-Froid ☆whom?☆
I hope you continue to keep an in depth look in Stalingrad's battle like you did before.Just found you from Red October Factory video and i have to say that your animated maps and Graphics are exceptional.
As an animator who worked on the aforementioned aspects of this film... Thank you. Those words mean a lot!
Maybe a bit similar as the battle of the Grozny presidential palace, because if you looking for hell, i know hell was all around us. The fighting was unprecedented and very violent. Older people says it was Stalingrad'ish and Berlin'ish to see the blood red dome over the city as we fought on. Some crazy shooting at our IFV, (like thousands of marbles dropped on your storm panzer wagon (BMP 2) then its time to for us to sit off. Then the hell of all hell started. It's just crazy that i came home. It's not far from the story of Stalingrad. But in smaller dimension.
??@@GeirAndreTonning ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Indeed yes and the details of the Barricade factory and environs, are endlessly fascinating. Thanks 🙏
Excellent work. So much detail crammed into a single hour. I will need to watch this a few more times to digest it all. Thank you so much for your diligent efforts. Looking forward to more of your superb videos.
Our team made this film with a lot of love! Thank you for the kind words!
@@ArmyUniversityPress if this is not too much to ask, please have frequently updated playlist. Your audiences may have different interests so wading through lots of podcasts to get to these might be a chore. Have playlists. And update them.
@@ahoffsette May I ask if the music was library music? Sounds like it and didn't do the video justice. Nevertheless a wonderful graphics presentation (After Effects?) and the best documentary Ive seen on the subject.
@@JuanCartee We used purchased music from a couple of different sources. Also yes, animated in After Effects!
@@ahoffsette AE is hard to beat, and the co-ordination you did with the dialogue shows you mastered it. Would love to have had a crack at writing the music. Keep up the good work. You're a true artist. Juan.
Have you guys this same "campaign" video about Berlin? This is the BEST thing I've found so far and would live to watch one on Berlin. Thanks keep up the great work!
Important lessons to learn:
1. You must always have a goal. Not just for the war as a whole, but also for each of your campaigns.
2. Your goals must be achievable.
3. When attacking the keys to success are to be bold, to gather strong forces, to be able to surprise your enemies, and to move with speed. Not all these keys are required, but you should aim to hold as many of them as possible.
4. No matter how good your military is there's always a limit to how far they can go.
5. A properly deployed counterattack can upset or even ruin the enemy's plans.
6. When faced with a risky situation you must weigh the options carefully. What do you dare to do? What can you come up with? What are the dangers? What don't you know?
7. If 2 armies are fighting each other then find out how many divisions they each have available. If 2 divisions are fighting each other then find out how many regiments they each have available. Always try to have at least a rough estimate of the number of troops available to both yourself and your enemy.
8. When on the offensive against a defending enemy you should ideally have a numerical advantage of at least 3 to 1.
9. Always be clear about what's your main effort, and what are you supporting efforts.
10. No matter how good your military is there's always a limit to long they can keep going. Every offensive, no matter how successful, eventually runs out of steam.
11. Strike where the enemy is weak.
12. A reserve of fresh troops is often useful.
13. The Hammer and Anvil has been used for millennia, and is still useful today.
14. When you surround an enemy, and they still resist you, crush them from all sides, in a similar fashion to crushing an egg by clenching your fist.

1. Don't fuck with Russia!
The end.
There is really just one lesson, but an extremely important one!! And that is DO NOT FUCK WITH RUSSIA, especially on their own territory 😏
Unfortunately a lowly corporal did not get that memo
Outstanding. Have been studying Stalingrad for a few years now and your expose' here is excellent. Informative detail.
Search on YT " Finding the Fallen of Stalingrad" current day metal detecters and battlefield archeologists are exhuming the dead from their situational war time graves and giving them proper graves & military honors.
(The're finding tons of bones.)
This is a fantastic video. One of the best I've seen on this campaign, and I have seen a lot of them.
Stalingrad battle documentaries are fascinating. Thank you.
Please keep this or similar videos up. These have been amazing
These are the best Stalingrad documentaries. Great job!
Just plain outstanding. The best. A BIG Thank You.
This content is excellent and is honestly some of the best I have seen anywhere. It obviously draws heavily on the work of Glantz but the introduction of modern tactical and doctrinal concepts really makes this something more than just history, it is history with a purpose. One question I have is would it be possible to put some citations in the video or with a pinned comment? Please keep up this style of work it is truly incredible.
I would love to see another episode focusing on the mobile defense and "backhand blow" re Kharkov.
It's not too scholarly but it's most accessible for all of us yes. 🇺🇸🤔📺✔️
The best documentary on Stalingrad that I have ever seen. Keep up the good work
If you've not already, I recommend you look at the channel called "TIK" where you will find truly superbly researched and detailed videos. His latest series is on Stalingrad. To give an idea of the depth that goes into them, his 9th episode ended with the "massive bombardment" of the city by the Luftwaffe. In other words, 9 full videos detailing what had occurred up to that point. You won't find anything else that comes close IMO (which to be clear is not saying this video wasn't good, it gave a very good picture of events in general).
Very professional presentation combining accurate historical data with cogent snapshots of both current U.S. Army doctrine and timeless precepts of the art of war. Thanks for posting these videos to the public.
Great extensive documentary, describing the Epic Battle of Stalingrad so well. Thanks !!!
This was maybe the most objective video regarding the battle of Stalingrad I have ever seen. Kept all mention of political ideology or morality out of what the video was attempting to accomplish. Well done Army.
Agreed.
Verygood breakdown on this campaign. Keep up the great work here!
Pavlov's house - what an epic mission in Call of Duty! This was a great video, nice job.
Which call of duty? World war 2?
whoa... I am an old man recovering from crainoplasty (not an ied, meningioma actually)... TIK has gotten me addicted to Stalingrad docus (w/pain medication, utube is key)... this AUP stuff is superb! Thank you very, very much for posting it, though I am not so sure why I am obsessed with it. I am planning to get hold of a Mauser & a Mosin Nagent asap!!!! Or a sets (Corps) of Army men. Do they still make them? Really, really enjoyed this, I am very grateful.
Hope you are well sir.
Same here wish you well love from uk
thanks man, am well, and have lived well, we all must go i guess.
@@markdavies5066 thanks man, appreciate it.
Howdy
Struggle within the city from November 1942 to February 1943, might have deserved mentioning too.
Other than that, GREAT video folks. Liked and subscribed.
@ 15:04 you can see a german Soldier with a captured SVT-40 with a SCOPE!! wow what an amazing clip
Great one, always good to watch something of my interest and learn something as well.
This was really really good and well made video. Thank you.
Excellent video! Keep making them and post them.
This excellent video brings back the 1970's when I played board games produced by Avalon Hill and Strategy & Tactics They covered everything from full campaigns and battles to house to house combat. The combat unit counters were the same as this video. I also read Bantam War books as a companion to employ tactical moves in these games. Keep up the great work. I'm subscribed.
If you have a computer a lot of those gameress are online now. I play war in the east all the time.
Sterling video, gents. One of the best WW2 videos I've ever viewed.
I've watched this multiple times. Well done
I just want to comment to let u know that I love documentaries like these. I even open and reload a few of your videos to watch some ads to support you but i noticed none came up.
Your work on this series is brilliant!
Great job guys. Hope to see more of your stuff soon.
The whole operation started over 100s of miles and went down to fighting for rooms in buildings
That's Russia for you...……..........….
I can't imagine fighting house to house. Just the pure terror of taking back a block only to have it overrun again hours later.
Impressive research, the only so detailed fact's I normally only find in militarily history books. Thank you very much!
This series was expertly done. Love the use of computer imagery to give you a feel for what the ground looked like!
I like your focus on the strategic and grand tactical elements of the campaign. Very useful for wargaming!
Very useful for Trump! lol
Great point at the begining about Stalingrad being helpful in planning future tactics...
I salute you for this superior gift of historical knowledge.
Paulus, when serving on the staff in Berlin, was one of the key architects of planning Operation Barbarossa. It was essentially his plan. He war gamed his own plan and found each time that Germany lost. Never an experienced field commander at any level, he was an obedient servant, a military intellectual, who obeyed orders, but he was also, quietly, reluctant about the entire business of invading Russia. Irony abounds with the story of Paulus.
We know that no plan survives contact with the enemy and no German plan after 1940 survived contact with Hitler.
He's one of the most fascinating players in the war - and, with the glaze of time, I guess, I find him largely sympathetic, albeit not without flaws.
He was a very interesting individual, to say the least
Paulus was a patsy; set up to fail. The hidden hand pushed him into an unwinnable war. It was the first domino in the eventual destruction of the German nation and the birth pangs of the Globalist era.
Great comments from so many military minds and leaders. I feel so much safer now knowing you all are lurking there in the glow of a computer monitor.
First time seeing any vids from this channel and they are exceptional. Great job and plus 1 sub from me
Fantastic photos and video of the actual combat
Interesting how principals & tactics of war change, yet remain the same.
I've heard Stonewall Jackson's Valley Campaign is still taught at West Point and Sandhurst.
Audacity, risk, surprise, operational reach, tempo, etc.
Stalingrad..the most epic battle in the history of the world!
You are right,and I am pretty sure it was the living hell for anybody involved.
@Generic Talk Bagration makes both look like a child's tea party. Army Group Centre, the most powerful force on the Eastern Front, was utterly destroyed. It was the beginning of the end for the Germans.
If we believe in geopolitics, the Soviet army can be considered a continental army.The other armies either insular or subcontinental ones.
@Generic Talk 30,000 tanks? You might want to check that number. The best sources I can find state the Germans had 2500 tanks and assault guns, the Red Army 7300.
At Kursk, only about 100 German AFV were lost and casualties were approximately 100,000. During Bagration, an entire army ceased to exist. The Germans lost at least 500,000 men, one third of their strength on the eastern front.
Glantz, David M.; House, Jonathan M. (2004) [1999]. The Battle of Kursk. Lawrence, Kansas: University Press of Kansas. ISBN 978-070061335-9.
@Generic Talk the Germans never had that many units at one time in the entire war. Their entire AFV production, including half-tracks, assualt guns and sp guns was less than 50,000. Perhaps you need to check your scources. The entire German army on the Eastern Front in 1942 was 3.6m troops. Stalingrad's losses were about 200,000 but the best troops were all flown out. I don't think the Wehrmacht lost 70% of its strenght at Stalingrad.
thank you for this wonderful presentation.
Very well done. Great explanation. Great graphics.
The battle of Stallingrad was hell on earth for both German and Soviet soldiers. Great documentary. Extremely informative
These r the best told shown ww2 history lessons I have ever seen. Bravo!
man this video is way better than any of those so called "experts " and academics books and videos
So much information. This is awesome.
I am glad that i finally found a documentary about the battle of Stalingrad where they don't claim that the city was attacked just because off it's name.
Outstanding!
Best one I ever watched so far.
thank you very much for uploading this material. Question: are there any plans for similar videos about the Height 102,0., better known as Mamaev Kurgan?
My grandfather - defender of Stalingrad and participant of operation ' Uranus '. He was liberating Kalach.
This is such an amazing video
I was there in September 2014. Utterly fascinating.
Fly from Ireland?
Did you hire a tour guide? I am thinking of going next year
@@citizenworld8094 Absolutely no need, I can point you to all the major sites. Everything is accessible via public transport.
@@damianmcdonagh7908 Good man Mr McDonagh! I read everything about Stalingrad. My hairdresser is from Volgograd. My beautiful young wife is from Moscow and I am fascinated about the battle. Greetings from a Mayo man (not missing Mayo). I hope to visit there asap however my academic historian wife (who studied WW2 prisoners using the archives in Moscow) says we should hire a private tour guide - that is why I was interested in your experience.
@@citizenworld8094 If you wish to hire a private guide then by all means do. I found it better to visit the various sites over the days we were there. Do not miss the Von Paulus museum It's in the exact same site as his former headquarters in the GUM department store. The Grain Elevator is there as is the Flour Mill and Pavlov's House. Mamaev Kurgan is stunning at night under the spotlight and the main museum in Volgograd is fascinating. What part of County Mayo are you from?
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH
I NEED MORE LIKE IT
Excellent video!
Superb presentation.
Serious Documentation
Nice, watched with my whole family
Although you would think that a lot of this would be common sense.....this video is very enlightening.
What remains for memories is the astonishing Gerhardt mill factory building 31:10 which stand proud speaking on heroic resistance in be half of Stalingrad to date
Important details are missing about the Operation Little Saturn, which resulted in Army Group A withdrawal from Caucasus, to avoid even larger encirclement. For the same reason, to protect Army Group A withdrawal, Hitler insisted that 6th Army remain in Stalingrad to bind up as many Soviet forces as possible
Were Marshall Paulus and his troops sacrified by the Fürher?
excellent and well organized content. great for instruction.
Good job! We want more!
Who thinks paulus was not up to the job, with the 6th army, it would have been better if he broke out, to save the 100,000. Solders, and take it on the chin from Hitler!! Plus all the equipment lost a hell of a lot.
What a masterpiece of historical art!
Very well presented.
Perfect video, could you do the same for operation bagration and koursk ?
Excellent videos about battle for Stalingad. Thank you for your work and sharing. Very good analysis and parts from US army FM were very interesting too.
I am from Russia and watching your videos i thought if your officers study modern warfare on such a level it would be hard for any opponent to conduct a battle against them. Knowledge is power after all. Hope that soldiers and officers of RAF and US Army never have to fight each other.
With respect and thanks for videos!
The video reminds of an old board game I played to death: Battle for Stalingrad.
Very interesting documentry! And I like Tempo of you delevery it! The intensity was there throughout the whole video. Well done
28:52 Some of Minina, the El'shanka ravine, and the railroads are shown in the film segment beginning at 35:57.
The M-shape (35:59+) of the ravine can be seen at Google Maps (N 48.682711°, E 44.467565°).
And the Tractor Factory, Pavlov's House and Grain Elevator are still apparent on Google Earth. The Tractor Factory is just a huge lot full of ruins yet today. In fact, if you follow the western shore of the Volga thru Volgagrad, you will find lots of large flattened areas full of ruins.
Is there a specific order in watching these films? Great stuff
great documentary
Actually, fighting in Stalingrad did not end in 2nd february 1943, because around 11 000 germans carried on fighting, some surviving as far as march.
Excellent
Interesting video!
Thanks!
very nice documentary .
Do you have one for the battle of Kursk??
Well done video.
Why did it take me so long to find these?
Very good video.
we need more
Amazing
great show, great victory !
ADP 3-90 In the GO game it's said to never attack the weak spots because they will be reinforced...
The Professional tone of the narrator makes this Top Shelf RUclips 😎👍😎
More of these videos please?
This is awesome
