First Sentence
When asked by his Allied captors in 1945 to what extent German military strategy had been influenced by economic considerations, Albert Speer, Hitler's armaments minister, replied that in the case of Operation Barbarossa the need for oil was certainly a prime motive.1 Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book on the Luftwaffe's actions in the Southern Front Jan 13 2004
By "emodin"
Stopped at Stalingrad deals with the Luftwaffe's actions in and around the Crimean peninsula from 1942 to 1943. Probably the most interesting part of the book deals with Fliegerfuhrer Sud and it's mission to clear the Black Sea of the Soviet naval presence. Stopped at Stalingrad also deals with the use of air power in the taking of Sevastapol, the actions against the Soviet forces landed on the Kerch peninsula, and the overall use of German airpower in supporting the march on the Don.

Hayward also discusses why Hitler felt the Luftwaffe could airlift enough supplies to sustain 6th Army after it was cut off around Stalingrad by Soviet troops.

This book is a good case study of how the Luftwaffe operated in tandem with the army and naval forces, and Hayward points to the Luftwaffe as one of the major contributors to Germany's initial successes against the Soviets.

I thuroughly enjoyed this book, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about the tactical air-support role the Luftwaffe played (specifically in the Southern Front of the Eastern Theater of Operations).

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book Jan 8 2004
By "callumoats"
This book's back cover ratings by the world's leading historians are not exaggerated. This book is fantastic and is essential to read if you want to know what the Germans did RIGHT and WRONG at Stalingrad (granted; they should never have been there in the first place). The research, the approach and the arguments are highly original, making this book invaluable for Stalingrad and Ostfront enthusiasts. It is also stylishly written. Fine book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth 5 stars! July 15 2003
By J Maich
This is a very interesting book about Stalingrad because it looks at the whole 1942 campaign to put Stalingrad into political, strategic, and economic context. And its focus on how the Luftwaffe contributed so much to all 1942 battles, and the Sixth Army's unsuccessful supply, is almost entirely new. A well done "essential" book.
