Great Patriotic War: History And Modernity Materials (1941-1945)

By: Fin, Alex

The development of hostilities in the summer of 1942. led to a sharp change in the situation on the southern sector of the Soviet-German front.
This was due to the implementation of new strategic plans of the fascist command. Still at a meeting at the headquarters of the army group
"South", held on June 1, 1942, Hitler declared: "If I don't get the oil from Maikop and Grozny, I will have to put an end to this
war"1.
Accordingly, the offensive of the Nazi troops, which began in late June, already in July marked a real threat of occupation
North Caucasus. After the capture on July 24 of Rostov-on-Don - "the gate
Caucasus" - they launched active offensive operations against
two directions - to Stalingrad and the Caucasus. From the end of July 1942
hostilities unfolded already on the territory of the Krasnodar
edge, and a month later the Nazis managed to reach the passes of the Main
Caucasian ridge. In general, the events of the summer of 1942 became a real disaster for the Red Army. The pace of her retreat at that time was comparable only to the most difficult times of 1941. In total, in the summer-autumn campaign of 1942, 4 million people were out of order.
