(Grumble Jones ID: GJ086)

Stalingrad, Russia 1943-01-25 (0 others)

Overview:

The end was fast approaching for the Germans trapped in the Stalingrad Kessel. The attempts to break-through had failed and soon von Paulus would surrender the city. For over a month, the Luftwaffe had flown in supplies and carried out the wounded. With the airfields now under Soviet control, nearly all flights had been cancelled. But one last airdrop was planned and in the waning light of a bleak winter’s day, weary, starved German Landsers looked up to see parachutes falling to earth. With the hope of desperate men they trudged through the snow to secure suppliers to survive another day. But the Russians had also seen the chutes and moved to capture the starved remnants of their once powerful foes.
