The pace of the German advance during the early days of Operation Blue in 1942 was reminiscent of that achieved in the early months of Operation Barbarossa. As a result, by the end of August, the Red Army was prepared to make what was, for all intents, a last stand at Stalingrad.

By the end of November the Soviets had trapped the powerful German 6th Army inside Stalingrad - it was more than they expected.
