Operation Little Saturn

 Operation Little Saturn  was a large armoured offensive in World War 2 against the Germans and their allies by the Soviets.It was a operation that included the tank and rocket attacks on the trapped Axis 6th army at a Wehrmacht-held airport outside Stalingrad. This is wrong in the game as the attack was in not even close to Stalingrad, as the Germans had already been pushed far back. The game part is only a small part of the actully Operation.

The Russians needed to push the Germans back to the Don to trap the them in Caucasus. The frontline was more than 250 km away from Stalingrad, proving the Soviets had one the battle.

The operation was devoloped to cut off the German reinforcements by pushing them far away from the reinforcments. The Red Army 1st and 3rd guards attacked the very large Italian reinforcements of 130 000 troops in the city of Millerovo, north of the Don. Only 45 000 troops survied, as all others were killed, either executed or KIA. The remaining troops went to support the panzers.

The remaning troops in Stalingrad were killed or captured. In all, 310 000 troops were killed in the opertaion and 90 000 were captured.

Next month, the Soviets decided to take of the Hungarians and the 2nd German army in Svoboda. The remaining Germans in the 2nd army were threatned with encirlement if they stood to help the Hungarians. They decided to retrat

With the Axis in disarry, all retreating across the Ukraine, the Russians could't let the the Second Army escape.

This part of the opertaion was the Battle of Kursk, seen in [[Call of Duty United Offensive[[. It was the largest tank battle ever that pited the Russian T-34's against the German Panzer 4's of the Second army.

Though the Russians were victorious, the Germans managed to save some of their troops by abandoning their positions in Moscow while Manstien lauched a counteroffesive using the best trained tank troops in the war, the SS Panzerkorps.
