• Sommario/riassunto: The book 'The Ghosts of Stalingrad' by Major Willard B. 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.
