The 250th division of the Wehrmacht, formed by Spanish volunteers (Blue Division) heads towards the central sector of the Eastern Front to take a privileged role in the conquest of Moscow. After their training in Bavaria, they depart from Grafenwöhr in August to Suwalki, in the east of Poland. . Once there, the toughest part of the journey arrives: due to the lack of motorized transport, the Spaniards must cover almost 900 kilometers on foot to Smolensk. Then the soldiers will use again the railroad to be taken to Dno, near the battle front. The Division walked between 30 and 40 kilometers a day, in days of seven or eight hours. Hard shoes bother them. Soon they receive orders from the OKW (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht): Moscow is no longer his goal, they must reinforce the siege to the city of Leningrad. .

Colorized picture of General Friedrich Paulus on the day of his surrender to the Soviet troops in Stalingrad (January 31, 1943). Paulus was appointed to command the operations carried out in the city that definitively changed the course of the conflict. He was a methodical general, who limited himself to obeying the orders of the high command, being this short flexibility the one that definitively condemned the besieged troops, although the idea of attacking a city on the edge of a river (the Volga) and the persistence of Hitler for sending more resources to the front ended by condemning the sixth army. . The losses were around 300,000 soldiers of the axis. On the other hand, the attempt to open the siege from the north carried out by the Fourth Panzer Army of Hoth and Manstein had no result as Paulus preferred to keep the orders to resist rather than attack. Before the surrender, Hitler promoted him to field marshal, making Paulus face a difficult situation since no German field marshal had ever surrendered, urging his general to commit suicide. But this did not happen: Paulus valued more his life. He surrendered and returned to East Germany in 1953 <img src="https://scontent-dfw5-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/10cfc024826d3a0ba6f65dce1d5bc956/5CB3BAAC/t51.2885-15/e35/47581878_136378130580886_5075610271303862336_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.cdninstagram.com&ig_cache_key=MTk0NTE3MzkwNzI1MTk2MDEzOA%3D%3D.2" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />June 4, 1942, Hitler meets with Marshal and future Finnish president Carl Mannerheim for his 75 birthday. Mannerheim is considered the main ally of Germany during Second World War, fighting directly with the Soviets during the Winter War (1939-1940) and the Continuation War (1941-1944). This conflict, despite being secondary, was crucial in several ways, as it contributed to the maintenance of Finland outside the Soviet sphere in the postwar period and convinced Hitler to attack the USSR looking at the weakness shown by his troops: even yielding territory, the Finns stopped the Soviets <img src="https://scontent-dfw5-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/aef71364528817861a27a8d355f12b40/5CC34546/t51.2885-15/e35/47582530_267430967246035_3701991188499943605_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.cdninstagram.com&se=7&ig_cache_key=MTk0MDA5ODM4NTY2MDg2MjUyMA%3D%3D.2" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://scontent-dfw5-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/9af3ea4a63af55361fcbf0fba2f1e0e0/5CC342CD/t51.2885-15/e35/47581793_1270958433055104_1350738010084051625_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.cdninstagram.com&se=7&ig_cache_key=MTk1Njc1ODgzNTkxMTYxMzg5OA%3D%3D.2" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
