Akins II examines the disastrous Battle of Stalingrad during World War II, focusing on the Luftwaffe's failed aerial resupply operations. Despite previous successes in Demyansk and Kholm, the Luftwaffe was unable to effectively supply the encircled German Sixth Army due to severe weather, structural flaws, and enemy actions. The book analyzes why German leadership, relying on these past operations, mistakenly believed in the feasibility of resupply efforts at Stalingrad. It seeks to draw parallels with contemporary military strategies and highlights failures in learning from historical lessons. The intended audience includes military historians, strategists, and those interested in World War II aerial operations.$7Generated by AI. 606 $aStalingrad, Battle of, Volgograd, Russia, 1942-1943$7Generated by AI 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$7Generated by AI 615 0$aStalingrad, Battle of, Volgograd, Russia, 1942-1943. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 700 $aAtkins II$b Major Willard B$01375855 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163215903321 996 $aGhosts Of Stalingrad$93410899 997 $aUNINA
