Bombing of Stalingrad

**Bombing of Stalingrad** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

General %playername%, our airfleet has arrived at Stalingrad.

From the look of things, we had better get them into action immediately.

I haven't had a chance to speak with General Paulus of Sixth Army yet, but he has sent us an operational overview.

**Primary Objective: None.**

**Bonus Objective: Assist Allies in Raiding the Cental (Sic) Rail Station.**

**Bonus Objective: Assist Allies in Raiding the Southern Rail Station.**

**Bonus Objective: Destroy 5 Soviet Long Range Artillery Units.**

**Bonus Objective: Sink 8 Soviet Transport Ships.**

Sixth Army has been trying to seize Stalingrad for over a month already, but they've reported their progress to be slow and painful.

?While heavy fighting continues in the nothern (Sic) industrial section of the city, a new thrust is being launched here in the south.

General Paulus would definitely like us to clear out enemy bombers that have been harassing his forces, so a strong fighter screen will be helpful.

In addition to Sixth Army attacking here...

The Romanian Third Army will also be trying to push into central Stalingrad.

As our allies advance and secure additional airfields, we can deploy our aircraft closer to the front.

With enough air support, our allies might be able to get us within striking distance of long range artillery emplacements on the opposite bank of the Volga.

And also enable our aircraft attack the Soviet reinforcements streaming into the city by river boats.

To victory, for Germany!

### Debriefing

I have several updates for your immediate attention, mein General.

General Paulus sends his thanks for our air support, and has requested a meeting with us as soon as the arrangements can be made.

Additionally, our ground forces have arrived by rail, and will be ready for deployment should we need them.

Given the state of the battlefield, I would definitely count on us needing them to finish this fight for Stalingrad.

**Historically, the Germans launched many thousands of sorties against the Soviet positions in and around Stalingrad. The daily bombing destroyed an overwhelming majority of the city and smashed large formations of Soviet forces with near impunity.**

**But as the rain of bombs blasted the city into a heap of ruins, Soviet control of the Volga River crossings ensured a stream of soldiers and supplies was able to continuously reinforce Stalingrad.**
