Hello Everyone,
As the title says, I'm curious how badly the loss of Stalingrad would be for the Soviet Union. As a POD, let's presume that Hitler (in a moment of logic) doesn't split up Army Group South and the main objective is the capture of Stalingrad; with the secondary goal being the advance into the Caucuses.
I don't believe that the Germans capturing it will mean victory (considering they are facing the three greatest industrial powers on the planet), but surely it will prolong the war.
Any thoughts are welcome.
