By January 7, 1942 the Wehrmacht had conquered more than 500,000 square miles of the Soviet Union and confronted the Red Army along a front extending from the Barents Sea to the Black Sea. Moscow was still under threat by German forces less than 100 miles to the West, Leningrad remained surrounded and Sevastopol was under siege. Hitler's primary target was the oil fields of the Caucasus, but as the year progressed the battle on which the war would hinge was Stalingrad.
