Now that is a impressive unreadable wall of text you have there. Do you think anyone will even try to read that with no kind of formatting at all? I am just going to respond to a few things: "Was that army attacking the oil fields that were desperately needed?" - To take the oil fields they need to hold off the Soviet army. Stalingrad is literally the heartbeat of the Caucasus region. It was situated right at the Volga River that should have been a massively important river to hold as it present a MASSIVE natural defensive barrier. You can't hold the Caucasus region if you can't defend the Volga as you need to be in control from Stalingrad to Astrakhan. Stalingrad was also the railway hub of that region. If the Germans moved into the Caucasus without disabling the railways from Stalingrad, the Soviets and just supply and threaten the whole Caucasus region by pushing towards Ukraine and encircle them. You can't defend and supply the Caucasus through Crimea or by Sea as Germany had no navy in the Black Sea. It makes 100% that the army should not have its main focus on the oil fields as their job was to secure it through positioning. "The pride of the Wehrmacht was the 6th army" - First of. Can you prove that? Even if you can. Why shouldn't the "pride" of the army take the most important job and secure the frontline at the Volga river? Shouldn't that job literally be for the best troops as that is the point of the army? "Seriously, tactically speaking where would the 6th turn to attack after Stalingrad?" - Tactically. You secure the front using strong natural barriers, like using a river that is between 520 yards and 2 miles wide, and hold the area you captured. If you can secure the front and the oil fields in the south. You have won strategic positions that allow you to push back against the British in the north and in the south in Africa. You can also switch your forces for a northern attack. Just because they should have taken Stalingrad does not mean they have to push from that point. Stalingrad is a STRATEGIC LOCATION. It is key to that whole region for a reason. You are also acting as if everyone had a perfect understanding of everything that was going on at all times. You are acting like the Germans knew that Operation Uranus was going to happen. You are working under the assumption everyone knew what should have happened just because you know what will happen. In other words you are looking at history with the benefit on hindsight and blame the Germans for not having the knowledge you do. Also. Obama is actually one of the worst presidents the US have ever had. He completely failed in his foreign policies to the point he has allowed slavery to return in Libya. It was under his watch ISIS was founded. He has bombed more countries that the US is not in war with than any other president in US history. He is the president that has deported the most people in the US history to the point he started to be called the "deporter-In-Chief" by his own staff. Black Lives Matters even started under his terms.

Not true. He did. France did not have huge oil fields at the time. France bought its oil from the US, like most countries did at the time. Same goes for Italy. They did not have large oil fields within their own countries. At least not enough to supply the whole war. Maybe you should stop getting your resource information from games like Hearts of Iron 4. Games are not accurate to real life. Also. That Non-Aggression pact was a farce from the very start. Both the Germans and the Soviets planned to backstab each other. It was seen as God shaking the Devils hand for a reason. Germany wanted Poland and time to prepare without the Soviets and the League of Nations attacking him, while the Soviets wanted a buffer state (Poland) and time to prepare and build up their army in case they will be attacked or need to attack someone. A Non-Aggression pact didn't mean anything as it isn't actually binding by the laws of the universe.
