The German View on the Battle of the Caucasus (1942)

After Operation Fall Blau started Army Group South was divided: Army Group A would make its way towards the Caucasus and capture the oil fields of Maikop, Grozny and Baku. Army Group B would advance towards Stalingrad. The main reason why Germany lost WW2 was the lack of oil. The Germans were not victorious during the Battle of the Caucasus. The Caucasus Campaign ended when the Germans had to pull back due to the defeat at Stalingrad. In this video more about the German perspective on WW2: how the Germans viewed the Caucasus in 1942.
