"The Battle of Stalingrad." //Jewish Virtual Library//. American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise, 2012. Web. 5 Feb. 2012. .

This web article is a secondary source that is located on the site Jewish Virtual Library. Jewish Virtual Library is published by the American Israeli Cooperative Enterprise. The AICE was “established in 1993 as a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization to strengthen the U.S.-Israel relationship by emphasizing the fundamentals of the alliance — the values our nations share”. This site has won many awards, including the ‘Britannica Internet Guide Award’. This article is very detailed. It gives information on the background of the battle, how it was planned, and even mentions some of the specific operations that took place within the battle, such as Operations Blue, Uranus, and Saturn. It also talks about the importance of the battle, and the aftermath. I think this article will be useful to our project, since it really does go in to deal about the significance. The whole point of this project is to investigate why this decision was important and what would have happen if it were different, and I think the information in this article will be vital to us because of that.

“1943: Germans surrender at Stalingrad.” //BBC On This Day//. N.p., n.d. Web. 15 Feb. 2012. .

This web article is a secondary source written by the BBC website. This website uses primary documents such as archive media, old newspapers, and historical reference books and writes in the format of a newspaper article as if the article were written on that specific day. In this article, the Battle of Stalingrad is analyzed from a newspaper’s point of view; however, the article was not written until years later. This article helped us to understand a general overview of the battle and gave me the background information I needed to really dig in. Additionally, it helped us to see the context after the battle for our actual history.
