Air-Force.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old



The more closely [the German army] converged on [Stalingrad], the narrower became their scope for tactical manoeuvre as a lever in loosening resistance. By contrast, the narrowing of the frontage made it easier for the defender to switch his local reserves to any threatened point on the defensive arc.

- Sir Basil H. Liddel-Hart
