Because it produced armaments for the Soviet army.

Madisyn Dougherty · Answer 2

The answer is:

Because it produced armaments for the Soviet army.

Explanation:

Stalingrad was a large industrial city that produced armaments and tractors and was an important prize in itself for the invading German army. It would also cut Soviet transport links with southern Russia, and Stalingrad would then serve to anchor the northern flank of the larger German drive into the oil fields of the caucasus.
