Franz Halder, German Army Chief of Staff since the war began, loses his job this week, but the offensive this summer has failed to gain any of its objectives and someone has to take the blame. In the Caucasus it's slowing to a crawl, and in Stalingrad the fighting is now block by block. Meanwhile, the Japanese are making new plans for a big offensive of their own, to take Guadalcanal once and for all.

After Stalingrad, Hitler had to know it was all over- with a few exceptions, war for Germany at that point became defensive, no further offense or territorial gains. Makes you wonder if the 6th Army wehrmacht soldiers knew what was in store for them when Paulus surrendered, would they have attempted a suicidal withdrawal instead?
