The Stalingrad Pocket froze around the German 6th Army

Christmas Day 1942 inside the Stalingrad pocket must have been one of the bleakest days of the war. Around 91,000 men eventually marched into captivity and only about 6,000 ever came home. The airlift could never deliver what the army needed, and the cold and hunger did as much damage as the fighting. I made a short video about those weeks, built from wartime footage:

I would welcome corrections and additions from anyone who has studied the pocket, especially on the airlift figures and what the daily ration actually fell to.
