"Robert Forsyth's skill at unearthing rare primary material has produced a remarkable and revelatory narrative. It gives a true insight into the near Herculean effort of the Luftwaffe to keep the trapped Sixth Army alive in history's bloodiest campaign." -- Iain MacGregor, author of The Lighthouse of Stalingrad: The Hidden Truth at the Centre of WWII's Greatest Battle "In this detailed account of the doomed attempt to keep the encircled German Sixth Army alive in Stalingrad by air, Robert Forsyth gives readers a fresh look at the precedents that led to the fatal decision to rely on an airlift and the tragedy that then unfolded. For anyone interested in both the detail and the difficulties of mounting the Stalingrad airlift, this book is essential reading." -- Prit Buttar, Author of The Reckoning: The Defeat of Army Group South, 1944 " To Save An Army: The Stalingrad Airlift is easily the most detailed, day-by-day narrative of that critical moment in the Second World War which has been written to date. ... [It] is a rich, data-driven military history, interlaced with compelling personal vignettes from pilots, aircrew, staff officers and evacuated soldiers." -- Robert Forczyk, Author of Where the Iron Crosses Grow: The Crimea 1941-44, "Robert Forsyth's skill at unearthing rare primary material has produced a remarkable and revelatory narrative.

Highly Recommended for those interested in an in-depth discussion of the Stalingrad Airlift." -- AMPS " Once again Robert Forsyth has contributed another deftly researched, exceptionally well written, organized and presented study that is unreserved recommended " -- Midwest Book Review " This adds up to an intensive look at a valiant, if failed, Luftwaffe effort to resupply the Stalingrad pocket. Smooth prose, vigorous research, and critical analysis make this a winner. " -- HMGS " The author has written over thirty books about the German Luftwaffe: this new volume is a welcome addition to that body of work. His compilation and analysis of the strategic, operational, technical, and human factors involved in the Stalingrad airlift are details, thoughtful and astute. The book is well-illustrated, and the appendices provide hard numbers to reinforce the points made in the text.

Synopsis
Using the diaries of Luftwaffe commanders and other previously unpublished sources, and augmented by a selection of rare contemporary photographs, Robert Forsyth analyses the human, strategic, tactical and technical elements of one of the most dramatic operations arranged by the Luftwaffe., Using the diaries of Luftwaffe commanders, rare contemporary photographs and other previously unpublished sources, Robert Forsyth analyzes the human, strategic, tactical and technical elements of one of the most dramatic operations arranged by the Luftwaffe. Stalingrad ranks as one of the most infamous, savage and emotive battles of the 20th century. It has consumed military historians since the 1950s and has inspired many books and much debate. This book tells the story of the operation mounted by the Luftwaffe to supply, by airlift, the trapped and exhausted German Sixth Army at Stalingrad in the winter of 1942/43. The weather conditions faced by the flying crews, mechanics, and soldiers on the ground were appalling, but against all odds, and a resurgent and active Soviet air force, the transports maintained a determined presence over the ravaged city on the Volga, even when the last airfields in the Stalingrad pocket had been lost. Yet, even the daily figure of 300 tons of supplies, needed by Sixth Army just to subsist, proved over-ambitious for the Luftwaffe which battled against a lack of transport capacity, worsening serviceability, and increasing losses in badly needed aircraft. Using previously unpublished diaries, original Luftwaffe reports and specially commissioned artwork, this gripping battle is told in detail through the eyes of the Luftwaffe commanders and pilots who fought to keep the Sixth Army alive and supplied.
