Answer:

Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hitler and the Wehrmacht had other ideas. They set their sights on Stalingrad, because the city served as an industrial center in Russia, producing, among other important goods, artillery for the country's troops. Stalin ordered all Russians strong enough to hold a rifle to take up arms in defense of the city.
