Available topographical maps of
the Stalingrad area show three
dominating heights within that
distance' due west of toe river
bank metropolis. They crown
rocky upland,' the Studuno-Yab-lonoski
hills, which in German
hands means a downhill fire for
even field guns into the heart of
the city. Twin' highways lead
through them to Stalingrad from
the west and northwest; and the
whole hill . mass is within' . the
perimeter of the belt line inter
connecting all four railroads con
verging on the city. ' '
Those hills, and a trio of 600
' foot peaks that dominate them,
unquestionably were the key to
Stalingrad's defense system.
" They provided the only for
midable natural barriers to in
vaders approaching d 1 r e e 1 1 y
I from the west. It was primarily
to evade a costly frontal attack
on that strongest segment of the.
Stalingrad defense line that nasi
commanders first sought to seise
it by a pincer movement from
the northwest and southwest
simultaneously. ...
It follows that if the hill bas
tion west of the city has been lost,
there is only a meagre chance that
the Russians can prevent break
through into the dry itself that
might cut its defense forces in
half in the center. It also fol
lows, however, thai the foe prob
ably has paid more heavily for an
advance by frontal attack in that
sector than he, has at any other
point, tremendous as has been- the
blood cost to Hitler for every foot
; The fact that bis generals were
driven to that frontal attack from
the;west when Russian die-hard
resistance foiled their north-south
squeeze effort' is' strong. 'evidence
that the time loss at Stalingrad
is driving Hitler to desperate
measures. - He could -not risk fur-
ther delay. By every indication
h s buying with blood. German
blood and that of his Rumanian
Italian allies.. ,s; ;
I ' This blood cost bids fair to out
weigh the strategic values Hitler
can gain immediately from the
dty epturt---'"-v--;:"'-:'V.
