The Battlew of Stalingrad was important to Hitler and the Waffen-SS because, after the failure of Operation Barbarossa, Germany was desperate and know that the German Military would die out be March-June 1943 if they didn't get any fuel, so Hitler ordered the split of the German Army Group South where one half would go to Stalingrad and the other half to the Soviet Major Oil reserve in Caucasus. So when Hitler instructed this order, Army Group B would advance to Stalingrad but the German 6th would of got there before the 4th Panzer Army, Hitler was expecting that soviets would be in verge of defeat by time of 4th Panzer Army would arrive to Stalingrad.
The main reasons for this decision was to:
- Regain vital Supplies to continue to fighting in the East
- Regain Dignity and Honor after failure of Operation Barbarossa
- Wanted to quickly end war in the East so that the War on Western-Front could continue and defeat the Americans and Brits.
- Show German Superiority and Spread Racial Policies by rounding all the civilians.
