Talk:Operation Uranus

message: Since the article deals at some length with the Stalingrad Front commander and his decision not to attack until the fog had lifted, I think his name should be mentioned.  It appears from the Southern Front and Andrei Yeremenko articles that Yeremenko was the commander of Stalingrad Front at this time, but can that be confirmed?

replies: text: Chris Bellamy (Absolute War: Soviet Russia in the Second World War) has Yeremenko commanding the "front holding the southern half of Stalingrad" (p. 521). I can't find a mention of an overall front commander, but he gives Zhukov, as the Deputy Supreme Commander, overall responsibility for both Uranus and Mars, and Vasilevskiy as controlling the Stalingrad operation ie Uranus (pp. 526-7).

replies: text: Anschluss, Nazi Germany. According to these articles there wasn't a border between Germany and Austria. And the map in the Nazi Germany says that in 1942 there wasn't a border. So, can anyone fix the map? Sorry for my English, by the way :-)   Dr. Klim (talk) 03:34, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

message: There was an adult picture apparently from a sex related article posted as the article's main template. I changed it to another picture from this article as I didn't know what the original template was. I hope someone can sort this out. 193.6.150.66 (talk) 10:37, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Uranus was a Soviet initiative. Yet all the images are of axis generals and forces. Can we see some of the Soviet commanders and what their forces looked like please. Lumos3 (talk) 13:39, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. There's five photos, and they're all Axis.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.143.62.12 (talk) 14:25, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

text: Not a single photo of Soviet forces and/or officers. This page is not an example of private german memoirs, but it implies biased view on the events.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.233.149.94 (talk) 16:19, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

text: Thirded! As of 2019, there are only four pictures, all of them Axis. If one weren't paying attention, one would think Uranus was a German operation... (To be fair, this sort of problem is widespread on Eastern Front articles, not just here. I don't know where one would discuss/tackle this problem in a more general way...)

message: Couldn't we have a translation of Operation Uranus to Russian (in Cyrillic) on the first line right after the boldfaced article title. For example, look at the first line of the article on Moscow. - RoyGoldsmith (talk) 15:37, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

message: In the info box you have Adolf Hitler as a commander whereas Stalin is not listed, it seems that this implies major tactical decisions made by Hitler and my understanding is that, in general, he was responsible for major troop movements but not individual tactical decisions. Could someone clarify why one is included and not the other? SADADS (talk) 16:16, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

message: 'Romanian Lieutenant Gerhard Stöck...' I believe Stock was the German liason officer to the Romainians. He was also a noted former olympic athlete.

message: There are two conflicting numbers for Soviet tanks, both cited to the same source, I think its a typo. In the infobox it says 894 tanks, but in the section Soviet forces involved it says 804 tanks. --Sherif9282 (talk) 04:36, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello, 
"McTaggart" and "McCarthy & Syron" seems to relie on old German sources that are known to be severly biased.
As the German propaganda during the war they tend to minimise German failures and to blame their Romanian allies.
Everything linked to their work should be doublechecked with more "concensual" authors imho (such as Beevor or Glantz)

message: In the penultimate para of the Aftermath section is the phrase "the distance between the outer and inner encirclements".

message: The paragraph that begins "On 22 November Soviet forces began to cross the Don River..." is very confusing. It starts as it should with events of 22 November. It then digresses starting with "Meanwhile, on a later date of Dec.13, the 26th Tank Corps split of southwards along the Liska river inlet in a small advance towards a bridge near the town of Nish Tschirskaya" (and perhaps "split of" should be "split off"). It later returns to the events of 22 November (the sealing of the Stalingrad pocket. I cannot tell if various information in the middle of the paragraph applies to 22 Nov. or 13 Dec. For example, which day did "a bombardment from BM-13 Katyusha rocket launchers" occur?
I see no reason for the events of 13 Dec. to be in this paragraph at all. They should be deleted or moved to another part of the article. I would do it, but as I said cannot figure out whether some items are for 22 Nov. or 13 Dec. Johnmastell (talk) 20:27, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
