Battle of Stalingrad

1. What does Joseph Stalin's advice to the people of Stalingrad say about him as a leader? Is he a bad leader because he doesn't care about people and he just wants to win

2. Explain why Hitler would react in the way shown after signing a Non-Aggression Pact with Stalin? Hitler stated "I've got them!" after the non-aggression pact was signed and then 3 years later Germans carpet bombed the city of Stalingard. So I think Hitler had a idea of what he was going to do before he did it.

3. Explain the significance of propaganda in this battle, using examples from the posters. The posters depict how much Hitler and Third Reich were hated. Some of the posters had pictures of swords going through giant monsters with captions such as "Kill the German Beast" or "Death to the fascist monster."

4. What do the extremes of the war reveal about what it takes to win a total war?
They have to do what it takes to win even if it includes having people in the city starving, and having to take on cannibalism. They had to bring out snipers to kill the German officers.

5. How does the story of Vasily Zaitsev relate to the war in Iraq?
I don't really think that the story relates to the Iraq war other than it is a war.

6. In times of crisis, sometimes heroic figures emerge. Which figure emerged in a similar way to Vasily after the terrorist attacks of 9/11?
In the 9/11 attacks many heroic figures emerged, such as, doctors, police men, fire men, the Army, Navy, Marines (etc.)
