Zhukov, Stalingrad
November 18 1942
Everything should be in place for our counteroffensive by tomorrow. Stalin has assured his expediency in this culminating operation. Our plan would unfold along a 250-mile front. As the Axis defenses were penetrated, the Soviets will cut the Germans off from most of their reserves and sever their lines of communications. We will mainly attack the more vulnerable Rumanians. The main plan is to weigh in when their offensives have failed and prevent them from even getting over to their defenses. The Stalingrad operation is in all respects already prepared. We are about to make the Nazis pay.
Zhukov, Stalingrad
