Operation Uranus: The northern and southern pincers of the Soviet encirclement of the German Ninth Army in Stalingrad meet at Kalach, November 1942 [700×525]
I know this childish and probably accidental since Russians speak Russian, but I always found it hilarious the flanking manoeuvre that fucked the Germans from behind was called “Operation Uranus”

That’s gotta feel good. More than a year of disaster for the Soviets, and now Fritz gets some of his own medicine.

Sixth Army with elements of 4th Army were encircled. Not Ninth.
