 Crossbowman:"Also, cities are often located at important intersections of rail or highway; in some terrain, those intersections might be vital enough that the city must be taken in order to maintain a route of advance."


Crossbowman:"Stalingrad also had a major river running through the middle of it - the Volga: holding the city would have denied the Russians the ability to use that river for transport between the Caspian Sea and Northern Russia."

Okay. Very good. Thanks for the memory massage. That's about what I had in mind. It sounds like vital oil supplies would transit the area, then.

The tragedy of the bombing/burning of Dresden probably had some similar rationales, then, I suspect.

A German told me they used horses on the WWII Eastern front, and I just saw some film of Red Chinese around 1950 relying on hayburners plus doctrinal fervor, too.
