Interesting...Thanks for the link!

I was also interested to see that Der Spiegel has an English language edition...Has anyone tried it??? (Well, Dana of course, but anyone else???)

Is it free or do you have to pay for the downloads??? The iPhone app edition...

I just finished this one on the same battle. Its a novel but all the details and characters were based on interviews from survivors. It was written in 1957.

The Betrayed Army

This is from the German movie Stalingrad -
