Hitler is obsessed with the conquest of Stalingrad, although General Kurt Zeitzler, the new Chief of the Army General Staff, warns him that it would be wise to reconsider their strategy after the success of the Soviets to resist the second German offensive. The Fuhrer, however, thinks that the battle will be decided with yet another attack. In Poland, in the Warsaw Ghetto, out of the four hundred thousand Jews that were enclosed in this part of the city, after the successive roundups by the Nazi security forces, only seventy thousand remain. Their prison has shrunk to a couple of blocks and most of them are in favour of the armed struggle.
