“The ☎ rang. General Strecker, commander of the XI Corps, reported from Osinovka.

“Here is a living hell,” Strecker reported, “an unimaginable hurricane of fire fell on our positions, the earth was literally plowed up.

We have significant losses, however, the main blow, apparently, was inflicted on the Romanians.

On November 19, 1942, with the most powerful artillery preparation, an operation began to encircle the Stalingrad enemy group, code-named "Uranus". Four days later, the advancing units closed the encirclement ring, driving the German divisions that were so eager for Stalingrad into the cauldron.

The operation was prepared in the strictest secret. Most of the Soviet military leaders who participated in it, only the day before learned about the true goals of the regrouping and concentration of troops. The Germans were sure that the Red Army was no longer in a position to conduct major offensive operations. In a few months, Germany will tremble with horror, realizing the cost of this delusion.
