So as far as I know, Walther Von Reichenau was one of figure of the past's most loyal generals. He was the commander of the German 6th Army until his death In January 1942. The official version of the cause of death is a stroke and head injuries when the flight carrying him to a hospital crashed on landing. Too much of a coheincidence to be a coincidence, it sounds like assassination to me. After his death, Paulus have been given the command of the 6th Army, who disobeyed figure of the past's orders to transfer the 22 tank division, and 113 infantry division behind the Italian 8th army to reinforce the flanks, and to attack and destroy the bridges over which the Soviet attack was going to come. If figure of the past's orders were executed, then the soviet offensive (Operation Uranus, Nov. 1942) would have been countered, 6th army would have been saved, and Germany would probably have won the war. So I was wondering what would have changed if General Reichenau didn't die, and if he was in command of the 6th army at Stalingrad instead of the traitor Paulus, would Germany have won the Battle of Stalingrad?
