The fighting in Stalingrad indeed presented exceptional features. There eventually converged the essentials of the war in the East, not only a clash of armies and ruthless ideologies but also one of civilizations, where the invaders were not seeking to conquer another vassal state but to erase an entire culture from the face of the world.Seventy years after, the release of new material from the Soviet archives finally allows to contemplate a detailed, exact study of the conflict, including new outstanding opportunites for mapping each single day of this terrible struggle.

Built upon the latest disclosed archival data, it addresses strategic and tactical levels and features entirely new maps for each day of active operations during this period. Synthesizing a wide range of documents and sources, this chronological atlas seeks to reach the maximal degree of precision in describing historical reality, rendering it through a standardized set of instruments: timeline, order of battle, unit strength returns, situation maps, contextual photos, quotes from key actors. It can be used as a reference manual for searchers, as well as a guide for those who want to know the basics: Who, When, Where. In 2015 the Russian Federal Archive Agency, in cooperation with the Ministry of Defense, the Russian Historical Society and the German Historical Institute in Moscow publically released large archival funds of Soviet and German records.
