Of all the debates about the Battle of Stalingrad, perhaps none causes more controversy than the question of whether or not the Sixth Army would have been able to break-out of the Soviet encirclement. Some people argue that the break-out had good chances. Yet, this is highly debatable. Historically, a very large number of German generals suggested an outbreak during the crisis, yet, it never happened due to objections of Hitler. Nevertheless, the question remains if a breakout could have been successful if immediate action had been taken. To properly assess this question we need to take a look at the combat power of German troops at Stalingrad, their logistics, mobility and some other factors, before the encirclement happened. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv » paypal donation - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=TFHEY4P4YU3NY » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » shop - https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop »» SOCIAL MEDIA «« » twitter - https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized » facebook - https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ » twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/militaryhistoryvisualized » minds.com - https://www.minds.com/militaryhistoryvisualized » SOURCES « Glantz, David M.; House, Jonathan M.: Armageddon in Stalingrad.
