Hitler in the East

How many armies have set their sights on Moscow and other Russian cities and failed? I found it very interesting how Hitler changed his approach in his offense for Russia for Stalingrad compared to Leningrad and others. It seems that he wanted to take "Stalin’s city" despite the risks that he knew and what eventually happened...

interesting to refer to it as "Stalin's City". some historian's have made the point that both sides fought so hard for that city since it bore stalin's name, while stalin wasn't very concerned with what happened to Leningrad.
