1.What does Joseph Stalin's advice to the people of Stalingrad say about him as a leader?
Stalin issued a proclamation that anyone who surrendered, or retreated, would be shot.
The lives of ordinary people, trapped in the middle of this tyrannical quest, were reduced to unimaginable horror. Many people died. Those who survived were sustained by little more than the human will to live
2.Explain why Hitler would react in the way shown after signing a Non-Aggression Pact with Stalin?
("I’ve got them!") thats what Hitler said
3.Explain the significance of propaganda in this battle, using examples from the posters.
Kill the German Beast"
"That’s Enough, Fascist Beast!"
"Death to the Fascist Monster"
The battle for Stalin’s city was originally code-named "Operation Blue." It wasn’t long before German soldiers called it Rattenkrieg (translated: War of the Rats). Doing what they (and Hitler) never wanted, German troops were forced to fight man-to-man where rats lived: in the streets, in the cellars, in the ditches.
