Stalingrad and Propaganda

The battle of Stalingrad is one of central battles of World War 2 and it has a major impact on the German public and propaganda. In this video I shortly talk about some aspect of the propaganda surrounding Stalingrad, e.g., "Opfergang" (sacrifice), the silence, "Helden haben tot zu sein" ("heroes have to be dead"), etc. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » paypal donation - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=TFHEY4P4YU3NY »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » shop - https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop »» SOCIAL MEDIA «« » minds.com - https://www.minds.com/militaryhistoryvisualized » facebook - https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ » twitter - https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized » twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/militaryhistoryvisualized » RallyPoint - https://www.rallypoint.com/organizations/military-history-visualized » tumblr - http://militaryhistoryvisualized.tumblr.com/ Military History Vlogs is a support channel to Military History Visualized with a focus personal accounts, answering questions that arose on the main channel and showcasing events like visiting museums, using equipment or military hardware. » SOURCES « Wette, Wolfram (Hrsg.); Ueberschär, Gerd R.(Hrsg.): Stalingrad.

You say that Stalingrad was the second defeat, but there was Alamein , a few months before, Although on a smaller scale to the Eastern front battles, Alamein was important symbolically and militarily to the British and must have caused awkward problems for the German propaganda machine. One month Goebbels and his cohorts are ecstatic over the capture of Tobruk (Rommell paraded in Berlin etc) and the imminent capture of the Suez Canal (Mussolini expecting a victory entrance on horseback!) and all of a sudden this great leap forward dwindles into desert stalemate, then humiliating defeat at Alamein. Even Goering's notorious radio broadcast to the doomed German troops in Stalingrad makes reference to the sacrifices in the deserts of Africa,

yeah, you are correct, my fault. Just re-read the German article, it doesn't state 2nd, but noticed that only the Counter-Offensive 1941 was a major problem for the propaganda. This is probably due to many factors, although everyone is hyped about Rommel, in German military history "circles", he isn't that much of a topic nor is North Africa, it is a "Nebenskriegsschauplatz" (peripheral war theater - hard to translate). Although extremely import for the British.
