概要
解説Stalingrad - Preparations for Operation Uranus.png
English: This map shows unit locations and relative strengths for Axis and Soviet Armies on Nov 18, 1942, during the Battle of Stalingrad.
On November 19, the Soviets launched Operation Uranus, an offensive designed to isolate and destroy the German 6th Army at Stalingrad.
There are more units listed in the Order of Battle than appear on the map. I didn't place any unit on the map unless I could find it in one of the source maps.
In conflicts between locations on the OKH map and the Soviet maps, I used the Soviet map. The Germans had not picked up the Uranus build-up, so the Soviets had much better intelligence at this time.
I could find no information on the strength of the 8th Italian Army, or Soviet 6th and 3rd Guards Armies.
Unit lines are thicker or thinner based on strength and density. These are characterizations, not precise measurements.
Unit strengths are shown in the layers in the SVG version of the map. These are based on the Order of Battle spreadsheet linked above. The spreadsheet includes notes on the units shown on the map.
The base map is derived from the OKH maps. I do not know the map projection.
Please feel free to comment on any inaccuracies! You can help to make the map better. I'm particularly interested in proper place-names.
