Children of Stars-Caring for Children with Autism

Operation Blue (also known as Blue Plan, German: Fall Blau) is the code name of the strategic offensive operation carried out by the German Defence Forces in the south of the Soviet Union in the summer of 1942. This action is a continuation of Barbarossa's action. During the operation, the Southern Army of the German Defence Force was divided into Group A and Group B. The German attack faced two problems: First, the Soviet Red Army established a strong defense in Stalingrad (an important transportation center) on the west bank of the Volga River to continue its resistance, and second, Adolf Hitler, the head of Nazi Germany, demanded to capture the oil fields in the Caucasus.
