Technology and Tactics used in Stalingrad

Would the technology and tactics were used to make the invasion possible?

To begin with, the Germans started the invasion of Stalingrad by two ways: air and ground. They sent the Luftwaffe to start bombing the city, because of that the city was reduced to rubble. German's 16th Panzer Division was the first to reach the river Volga, entering from the northern part of the city and starting to attack the city where a lot of civilians were taken by surprise.

 In the first scenario they had began well; they had air superiority with the Luftwaffe bombing all the city. However, when they entered the city by the northern part of the city hey found themselves fighting with brave soviet men and women that did not gave up. This became a war of will and honor between the two dictators: Hitler and Stalin. They both lost a lot in this battle, but the technology and tactics used made the invasion possible? In our opinion, it didn't.

As we said Germans had lots of powerful weapons and control over the area, but it was just a matter of time for their struggle to begin. The battle was becoming fair because of the supplies and reinforcements that Soviets received from the other side of the Volga, which helped them counter with weapons such as the Yak 1 and tanks that were still created in the factories located in the city.

At different moments the Germans had controlled 90% of the city, but the German's strategy started to suffer. The cold winter affected the Germans a lot. However, the mistake that we think started it all was leaving the German northern flank vulnerable, as they were defended by  ill Hungarians that weren't in the conditions of fighting. The Soviets used this and shattered the Hungarians encircling the Germans inside the city. 

Being surrounded by the soviets another big fail was asking for air support, because the amount of food and ammunitions they could airdrop was not enough for everybody; this and Hitler's order of not retreating led to the starvation and death of Germans. There were also problems of communication, people did not know what to do; the Germans were lost since Hitler had ordered that they should fight "to the last soldier and last bullet".

Finally, to conclude this we can say that the invasion was not even possible from the start, being Germany's major mistakes: invading the city and following orders of their leader, Hitler.
