Operation Uranus

Operation Uranus was a Soviet military offensive launched in November 1942 during World War II, aimed at encircling and defeating German forces at the Battle of Stalingrad. The operation involved a surprising attack on the weaker flanks of the German Army, where their defenses were thin. By using well-coordinated forces, the Soviets successfully encircled the German troops, cutting them off from supplies and reinforcements. This maneuver marked a significant turning point in the war, showcasing the effectiveness of Soviet strategy and leading to the eventual surrender of German forces, which shifted the momentum in favor of the Allies.
