november 1942, residents of the city of ardzhanikidze, now vladikavkaz, were raised on alarm, advanced german units burst into... logizel, from here to the center of ardzhanikidze they had only 8 km to go, but the nazis were unable to take the city. soon, near gisel, selected wehrmacht tank units were surrounded and defeated. after this, the german offensive in the caucasus stopped. githwerd invested in this one. blow, everything that happened, the goal was to destroy the soviet union, in principle , to take it out of the war, the battle for the caucasus

lasted 442 days, on the front stretching from novorossiysk to mozdok, one and a half million people fought in a mortal battle, very long, difficult , very the bloody battle for the caucasus ended in our victory. hyper pursued goals in the caucasus, how the germans managed to get to the top of elbrus, why the battle for the caucasus turned into a military disaster for hitler.

at the end of july 1942, german troops reached the foothills of the caucasus. on august 15, they approached the foot of the ancient volcano, mount elbrus. it was the highest mountain in europe. it rose 5.5 km high above the plain. the germans sent 18 military climbers from the mountain rifle team to conquer elbrus

edelweiss divisions. the ascent was commanded by captain hines groth. in 1939, even before the start of the war, grod climbed elbrus and knew the mountain roads and pass leading to it well. on august 17, at an altitude of 4.00 m, among deserted glaciers on snow-covered slopes, the germans discovered a soviet hotel for climbers called shelter-11. having established a stronghold in it, grot’s detachment continued to climb. on august 21, 1942 , the nazis reached the western and eastern peaks of elbrus. around 11 am they became friends they bear the banner of the third reich and the triangular standards of two mountain infantry divisions. the german command awarded all participants in the ascent with iron crosses.

it was decided to rename the western peak of elbrus hitler peak. a nazi flag was planted on the top of elbrus. this is a fairly well-known episode, it was carried out by a divisional unit, and then below at the foot of this mountain, this is described, by the way, in several memoirs. held a solemn and significant parade, i would even say a kind of sacred parade, because in it took part exclusively in ss units , which marched in their black formation, in black ceremonial uniforms, and thus saluted the fact that on one of the peaks, on one of the symbols of the soviet union, there was a raid, the flag of the third reich, the newsreel "german weekly newsreel" devoted to the conquest of elbrus installation on...

the hour of your liberation is close, the end has come to the collective farm system of power of the communist party, on these same days in all major... grozny, tbelisi, makhachkala, sochi and baku. here are rare newsreels that were filmed on 13 august 1942 in the city of ardzhinikitse.

residents of the ossetian capital gathered at a rally dedicated to the defense of the caucasus and sent. caucasian republics, among them russians, assetians, georgians, azerbaijanis, kabardians, circassians, avars, chechens, lezgins. addressing them, a native of stavropol, major general vasily kniga, said: peoples of the soviet caucasus, we have gathered here at the foot of the caucasus mountains.

mortal combat with fascist robbers, we swear on the behalf of our fallen comrades that we will stop the enemy, defeat him, bury him, but let us not retreat a single step, the battle for the caucasus has become one of the largest battles. to stop the enemy, the soviet command had to urgently revise many outdated tactics. the victory

of soviet troops in the caucasus had enormous strategic and moral significance for the entire country. in principle, the defeat in the battle for the caucasus in germany was a fatal blow for germany, if we consider it together with stalingrad, but it is impossible not to consider it together with stalingrad, because it one single operation, a single german operation, respectively, the failure of a single german operation - this is stalingrad and the battle for the caucasus, together this is exactly what can be called the beginning of the turning point of the war. the main caucasian ridge stretches for 1300 km from the caspian to the black sea. since ancient times, these mountains were the natural boundary that separated europe and asia. bloody wars for dominance over the caucasus by velichengiskhan, tamerlane and other conquerors. at the beginning of the 19th century, the transcaucasian

peoples voluntarily became part of russia. in 1922, this republic signed a union treaty with russia, belarus and ukraine on the formation of the ussr. during the years of industrialization , rich deposits of mineral raw materials were discovered in the caucasus. at the end of the 1930s, the caucasus gave 85%.

occupies a very advantageous strategic position, it is located at, so to speak, a crossroads, on the one hand, from the caucasus you can strike at iran and further, from iran

anywhere, from iran to the middle east, to asia, anywhere, even to africa, and this is blau’s plan, that is, the blue plan, here it is must now decide the overall outcome of the war. on april 5, 1942, hitler announced.

armies along the volga, another, army group a, stalingrad and cut off the soviet supply , break through the caucasus mountains and take baku. the operation was called edelweiss. the german command intended to bypass the main caucasian ridge and encircle the soviet troops, delivering two crushing blows from the west and east. the point was that they wanted to enter, firstly, the oil-producing regions, this is the north caucasus, this is baku, baku and grozny. then they wanted to take the coast of the north caucasus, first of all such important strongholds as tuabsy and novorossiysk, and then from there they had a strategic plan. where to strike at the british colonies, that is, right up to india, yes, this was a strategy, and for this it was necessary to appropriately plunder and eliminate the southern flank, let’s say,

of the defense of the soviet troops. the germans threw 167 thousand soldiers , officers, 1,130 tanks and a thousand aircraft into the attack on the caucasus. the operation was led by field marshal wilhelm list. veteran of the first world war. list was an experienced military man, having participated in all major wehrmacht campaigns since the beginning of world war ii. army group a is advancing into the caucasus, which is entrusted to general marshal list wilhelm, who has proven himself by the generation of yugoslavia, that is, he knows how to operate in mountainous areas with bad roads, with rough terrain, with the actions of rebel detachments, that is, relatively speaking, a specialist in... ... such balkan operations, balkanization, well, the balkans are mountains, the caucasus mountains, that means velhelmlist, especially that veliger mlist, in general, is quite

tough, quite a professional commander, with good experience. the caucasus was defended by two soviet fronts: the north caucasian front of marshal semyon budyonny and the transcaucasian front of general ivan tyulenev. both commanders were men of great personal courage. first.

the most important thing is that this significantly worsened our military-strategic situation in the south of the country, and it is no coincidence that it was in july of the forty -second year that sevastopol finally fell, which had resisted since the forty-first year, and crimea also became completely german. it was against this background that the germans decided, as they say , to build on their success to try to accomplish what they failed in the center in the south, in the soft underbelly, as they believed, where there were more chances, more space.

german troops captured rostov-on-don. on july 25, the wehrmacht received orders to begin operation edelweiss. the main blow was delivered in the direction of grozny. two tank armies were sent on the offensive. in just a month they were able to capture voroshilovsk, krasnodar, armavir, maykop, elista and mozdok. over 300,000 soviet soldiers were captured by germans

.

directive from stalin. a native of georgia, elbrus, general tyulenev received an urgent assignment . the supreme commander-in-chief understood perfectly all the difficulties of the upcoming battles. he wrote: “those commanders who think that the caucasian ridge itself is an impassable barrier for the enemy are deeply mistaken.” soon, on stalin’s instructions, another native of georgia, people’s commissar of internal affairs of the ussr, lavrenti beria, arrived in the caucasus. the people's commissar was accompanied by his son sergo. he remembered. i saw budyonny located, as it seemed to me, in a state

of space. when his father came to him, he began to convince him that there was no need to protect these tangerine groves, he had to leave. the front commander could not clearly explain where which units were located or who commanded them. by order of beria, many commanders were removed from their posts. budyonny was recalled to moscow. climbers were urgently called from all fronts to the caucasus. well -equipped sabotage groups were created from them, the supply of the army was improved, but all these measures did not were able to immediately turn the situation around at the front. to conquer the caucasus, the germans sent elite units of the forty-ninth mountain rifle corps of the wehrmacht, among them was the famous edelweiss division, which was considered the pride of the third reich.
