This week, the Battle of Stalingrad continues to brutally drag on, perhaps longer than either side believed it would, and has deteriorated into room to room fighting. South of Stalingrad in the Caucasus, the German advance is also stalling. A furious Hitler gives his generals the silent treatment and this week he fires chief of the OKW Franz Halder. Clearly this war is not going the way the Germans thought it would, and only time will tell if they can hold on to what they have conquered.

161 - Stalingrad, Factory by Factory, Room by Room - WW2 - September 25, 1942

Franz Halder, German Army Chief of Staff since the war began, loses his job this week, but the offensive this summer has failed to gain any of its objectives and someone has to take the blame. In the Caucasus it's slowing to a crawl, and in Stalingrad the fighting is now block by block. Meanwhile, the Japanese are making new plans for a big offensive of their own, to take Guadalcanal once and for all.
