Re: Stalingrad: WW2's greatest battle
I think i may have misunderstood the information I will quote what the book says. The name is The Battle of Stalingrad by Bob Caroll. "As soon as Russia was in the war, Stalin began lobbying for a "second front", that is an invasion of Europe by Great Britian and the united states. Only then he insisted ,would hitler be forced to draw sufficient armies from the eastern front to enable the russians to beat germany.........(later in the paragraph)....It was a tragic catch-22: stalin maintained a second front was needed for a russian victory but churchill insisted no second front was possible without a russian victory".
Just because this information is in a stlingrad book doesn't mean its about stalingrad in particular, but I can still try to prove that in my paper
