"I was horrified when I saw the map. We're quite alone, without any help from outside. Hitler has left us in the lurch. Whether this letter gets away depends on whether we still hold the airfield. We are lying in the north of the city. The men in my unit already suspect the truth, but they aren't so exactly informed as I am. No, we are not going to be captured. When Stalingrad falls you will hear and read about it. Then you will know that I shall not return."

@piipkk ''We are the last seven survivors in this place. Four of us are wounded. We have been entrenched in the wreckage of the tractor factory for four days.

We have not had any food for days. I have just opened the last magazine for my automatic. In ten minutes the Bolsheviks will overrun us.

Tell my father that i have done my duty, and that i shall know how to die.''

Last message sent by Heinrich Stoda, a Wehrmachts soldier from Munich-Stalingrad, January 1943.

the picture at 4:11 is horrible, but I have seen this picture before and these are soldiers of the hungarian 2nd army which was destroyed by the Red Army, they suffered 84% casualties,in russia they suffered over 100,000 soldiers killed,35,000 wounded and some 60,000 taken prisoner. only about 40,000 soldiers returned to hungary, very dreadful casualties.

@bombarderoazul Yes they are hungarians, but died at the battle of Stalingrad. Hungarian, italian and romanian troops was stationed north and south side of Stalingrad as "over-extended" flank troop. They were not so good equipped as germans and they payed high price because of that.

What song is this? I must know!

[Mybbex]

I took music from Mozart's Requiem. Spirit of this music is good to this theme, I think.

And again read the book Bis Zur Letzten Patrone by Heinz Schröter. I know you can find it in english, even in finnish too.

It breaks your hard, but it gives more info of this battle. There are short storys of fights, how men saw them, what they did there and you can feel when you read it, how desperate that all were there.

Poor people. Long live to no criminal state, rebelpy, that's shit. Those poor people, they all had their small lives, with their small happiness and died for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It's outrageous.

I like 4:07, I like seeing as many dead Germans as possible.

@nickie2011 боже как жалко этих людей?!а кто их звал сюда?

[historatia]

@stephengnelson It wasn't!. If you've studied it for years, then you must have learned that there are a good number of war-mongering lunatics involved. If you haven't learned that, then you haven't learned anything.

NIE WIEDER KRIEG

I've studied the war for years and it still boggles my mind that this was all because of one lunatic.
