The most brutal battle on the Eastern Front. Hitler believed in the famous quote of Clausewitz: "The best defense is a good offense." He thought the troubles of winter were over, so in the summer of 1942, he launched an unparalleled, shock-the-world offensive. He overestimated the combat capabilities of the German army and underestimated the strength of the Soviet army. The superb command skills of the Soviet commanders and the bloodshed and heroic sacrifice of the Soviet people and army made the arrogant and stubborn Hitler taste the bitterness of defeat, with "City of Destiny" becoming a sign of his later tragic fate.
