Shane Mage: "Though the war was not "won in Stalingrad and Kursk," it was won (or, for the Wehrmacht, lost) in the sense of *decided* at Stalingrad and Kursk."
Point taken. Probably more so that any *other* point. I actually think that the Stalingrad battle was decided before hand, by the Germans splitting their army. It allowed the Russian to crush them at Stalingrad. David ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
