One reason only, it bore the name of his bitterest enemy. It was a test of wills between the war's bitter rivals. Blitzkrieg tactics were ignored at the expense of the 6th Army and 4th Panzer Army. The result was the loss of the oil fields in the caucasus and loss of the 6th Army, something the Werhmact never recovered from.

The fall of Stalingrad would have meant, in his mind, an open door into the Soviet Union. His victory out there could've brought Stalin to the negotiation table thus changing the war scenario. For all the mistrust and awful things associated with the Soviets we have to give them all the credit for resisting for two years dealing the Nazisa mortal wound.

Stalingrad was the gateway to the oil fields of the Urals. if he controlled Stalingrad, then he could control the flow of oil coming into Europe. Stalingrad was not a sea port...that would be Leningrad (St. Petersburg)

That was supposed to be just the start. The man thought he could take over the world. He was convinced that he was better than Napoleon, who was forced into the retreat from Moscow.

There are present day parallels. One man's Moscow is another man's Baghdad.

It was the former capital of Imperial Russia, full of valuable state treasures. It was also the USSR's only European seaport, the loss of which would have shut down the Soviet Navy.
