Funny enough the news made me remember.. as the had a little feature on it.
70 years ago German 6th Army surrendered in Stalingrad. Around 90,000 men where taken prisoner..less than 6,000 I believe made it homes..many not until the 1950's.
Makes you realise it wont be long before any veterans are left from any side...

Makes one realize, never surrender. I repeat...NEVER SURRENDER...I REPEAT NEVER BLOODY WELL SURRENDER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! I dont care if youre out of ammo. You take up that butter knife if need be or make a Banzai charge if you must but you get that azz out of that trench & you charge into the guns if thats all thats left but dont you ever surrender to the enemy U maggots!! You got that??!! Good!! [:@]

This forum would be sooo boring without the Slaak. [:D]
Anyways back to topic, you're right Wodin, the numbers are staggering no matter how many times I see them. 300.000 in the cauldron, 100.000 captured and sent to the camps, 5.000 return 10 years later.
You're also right about the vets, not many of them left. My g/f father was a German soldier during WWII and he's getting real old and really really fragile now. Does't leave the house anymore, and spends his days between his bed and the couch. I hope he has still some time left, but it sure is running out for him.

5,000 came back alive in 1955 out of over 300,000 men. I've studied Stalingrad for over 30 years and I'm still amazed by that.

8 or 9 years in a lead mine living underground in the mine..was a death sentence. Or railway line in the frozen wastes.
A good film I saw recently was The way back about an escape from a Gulag. Also a good book of a german soldier who escaped the lead Mine and took years to cross Russia into Iran or iraq can't remember now "As far as my feet will carry me"

Book Link
Actually the film is also absed on a book\true story..

I know, SLAAKER is a perfect example for the need of involuntary commitment to INSANE asylums.[8D]
70 years ago today was a sad day. It is hard to fathom only 5,000 returning to Germany.

Why yes, Cartman was modeled on me. At least I can spell modeled correctly.

Has anyone read William Craigs Enemy At The Gates about the battle of Stalingrad?
It had been out of print for years but became available several years ago.

I agree. IMO it was much much better then Beevors book primarily because all of the personal stories.

Yeah. I meant to mention that I thought it was better than what Beevor wrote.
