Hello friends! Today we will talk about the Battle of Stalingrad again. In the Battle of Stalingrad, the Soviets successfully defeated the German army and won the war. So, if the Soviet army had lost and Germany had won the Battle of Stalingrad, what impact would it have on the course of World War II? Now, let's find out.
The war, which lasted from August 1942 to February 1943, was also a turning point in World War II. Marked a major defeat for the German army. Now, let's imagine a different scenario and see how it turns out.
If the Germans had won the Battle of Stalingrad, the first thing they would have done would have been to secure control of the city and consolidate their gains in the surrounding areas. Stalingrad was a strategic industrial center on the Volga River, and capturing it would allow Germany to control vital resources and disrupt Soviet supply lines.
With the victory at Stalingrad, the Germans would aim further east. Beginning to advance into the Caucasus, which was rich in oil reserves and industrial resources, was an important target of Hitler's expansionist ambitions. By ensuring security in the Caucasus, Germany has access to any much-needed fuel**. In addition, Germany's victory in the Battle of Stalingrad would also boost the morale of its army and the German population. Reviving Germany's war spirit and possibly encouraging other Axis powers to support Nazi Germany even more.
However, it must be noted that this is only a hypothetical situation, and in reality, they do not do it. Instead, it failed, and has been going downhill ever since. As a result of the German victory in the Battle of Stalingrad, even if they had won, they would still have lost a large number of troops. The troops lost their offensive capability, and it was difficult for them to carry out the next step of combat operations. There was only one abandoned city of Stalingrad. For the Soviets, it was just another city destroyed by the Nazis. The end result was a loss, a complete defeat, the whole army was exhausted, and the German Sixth Army, the most courageous of the army, was officially destroyed in the Battle of Stalingrad.
The wisest choice for the Germans was not to lose, recognize the danger, retreat in an orderly manner, and retreat to keep more soldiers and supplies. Because they won, they will not be able to hold Stalingrad, and the Soviets will always fight. The Eastern Front consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and the Western European battlefield was also consuming a huge amount of manpower and material resources of the German army. Either side was a formidable obstacle for the Germans. On the Eastern Front, the best start is not to lose and pull the troops away as soon as possible.
