This week, the Germans are pushing hard into Stalingrad. The invaders are deep into the city and have nearly broken through a number of times. Now however the Soviet forces are fiercely counterattacking, and the battle is reaching massive proportions. Zhukov direct an offensive from the north which costs both sides many troops and changes little on paper, but provide the kind of spoiling attack that the Germans can not afford right now.

In the Pacific the war is also raging on. Both on Guadalcanal and the Kokoda track, the Japanese fiercely throw themselves at the mainly US and Australian Allied forces, suffering huge casualties as a result. At sea however they are able to take out a US carrier.

It feels like this gets said every week, but it is clear once again clear that the bloodshed and horror currently underway is nearly unparalleled in human history.

160 - Stalingrad Falls? - WW2 - September 18, 1942

It's a big week, but by now they all are. The fighting in Stalingrad is intense, the fighting on Guadalcanal is intense, and the US loses a carrier in the Pacific. And the German quest for oil in the Caucasus... how's that going again?
