War II
330 .. $a This is the story of the highest battlefield of World War Two, which brings to life
the extremes endured during this harsh mountain warfare. When the German war machine
began faltering from a shortage of oil after the failed Blitzkrieg against the Soviet
Union, the Wehrmacht launched Operation Edelweiss in the summer of 1942, a bold attempt
to capture the Soviet oilfields of Grozny and Baku and open the way to securing the
vast reserves of Middle Eastern oil. Hitler viewed this campaign as the key to victory
in World War Two. Mountain warfare requires unique skills: climbing and survival techniques,
unconventional logistical and medical arrangements and knowledge of ballistics at
high altitudes. The main Caucasus ridge became the battleground that saw the elite
German mountain divisions clash with the untrained soldiers of the Red Army, as they
fought each other, the weather and the terrain
