From the other side of the river volga the russians fought their way back swapped rifles for sub machine guns Dogged fighting

This is one description from a German officer: "We have fought for fifteen days for a single house. The front is a corridor between burnt-out rooms; it is the thin ceiling between two floors … From story to story, faces black with sweat, we bombard each other with grenades in the middle of explosions, clouds of dust and smoke, heaps of mortar, floods of blood, fragments of furniture and human beings … The street is no longer measured by meters but by corpses … Stalingrad is no longer a town. By day it is an enormous cloud of burning, blinding smoke; it is a vast furnace lit by the reflection of the flames. And when night arrives, one of those scorching howling bleeding nights, the dogs plunge into the Volga and swim desperately to gain the other bank. The nights of Stalingrad are a terror for them. Animals flee this hell; the hardest stones cannot bear it for long; only men endure."

While im not from your country, my grandfather was the same with 'celebratory' parades for ww2. sadly he died before i was born so i never met him, but my dad said he used to say "i dont need a special day to remember the men and friends i lost". He never really talked about the war, but he lost his leg because of it. Miraculously, him and his 2 brothers all returned alive though, something very uncommon.

Stalingrad is the closest thing to apocalyptic battle I can think of. It's dystopian in some ways. You have this mass of concrete shattered by bombs and shells with two massive industrialized armies fighting a true war of annihilation. First hand accounts are across a whole range of emotions and outlooks from rage and hate to sorrow and joy, fear and stubbornness. It's everything that makes the human experienced, good and bad crammed into one battle and it boggles the mind. Folks who made it through this battle lived a thousand lifetimes in an instant.

I remember watching a video of a German soldier who was one of the last men to fly out the Stalingrad battle on a transport plane, and he broke down crying because he felt so guilty about all the men who died in that bloody battle, and he lived. Although I've never been in a battle the likes of Stalingrad, war is no game to be relished and spoke of in a positive light, war is evil and those that start them are the evilest of evil, and sadly, we're watching the politicians of 2022 trying their hardest to get us into another world war so they and their so-called elitest buddies can get rich while watching other people's children die and wounded for life, SAY NO TO WAR.

Every corner, street, alley, trash can/pile could be hiding an MG nest or something much, much worse. One wrong step, one missed detail, and you're nothing but a pine box and a memory.

Maybe if they hadn't brutalized civilians as much as they did they wouldn't have gotten what they had coming. Same with Croatia. It got so bad Mussolini armed rebels to defend themselves from those animals.

It's crazy for me to think about that my great grandfather disappeared somewhere on the route to, or in Stalingrad. I only know that from some passing comments my mom made about him. I don't know how much she knows about my ancestors, I might ask her next time I see her tho. It's a shame that I can't ask anyone else though because they're either dead, missing, or are not in contact because bad parenting seems to run in the blood. This period of our history feels so distant, but a lot of people like my mother still have documents and medical reports from that time. I remember finding an old passport with the sign on the front sloppily crossed out when I was snooping around once. And also some old documents of some person (who was probably a relative but they didn't share my family name) who underwent shock therapy for ptsd (I'm not sure if it was explicitly called that in the document but it sounded like it). The document itself was slowly falling apart and the letters fading, just like the memories of that time period are fading as the last few people that were alive around that time are slowly dying out. This period of time feels like ancient history, but in reality it hasn't even been 100 years since then. It feels unreal. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read this :)

Very well produced, thank you. I've recently begun to feel like WW3 has already started, but it will be far quieter and less bloody than the previous two. This time, however, the enemy is well within the camp and, to most of us, invisible. Humankind is its own worst enemy.

It's a sad story, absolutely no happy ending here...

My great grandfather was taken prisoner at Stalingrad in 1943 died in captivity

my great grandfather fought on the german side as an infantrist in the battle of stalingrad.. his feet had to be amputated and thats why he survived.. he took one of the last planes that left stalingrad to get his feet amputated

The Germans actually tried passing an order forbidding suicide. I remember hearing a German veteran say that Stalingrad was simply a place of execution. It's like it was a spot in the world selected for misery. Heard and interview with a German field doctor in the city and the scenes he described were unreal. I had over thirty family members murdered by these bastards and I still pity the soldiers who found themselves in that hell hole. The doctor also described hearing Goering basically eulogize them while there were still so many alive and was enraged that had they surrendered as many as ten times the men could have made it home. The fact that the Germans held out as long as they did is incredible. But what could they do? After how they'd treated the soviets, many who probably wouldn't have fought on or killed themselves may have surrendered

Have a good day Sir

What text reader program you're using to do that speech?

My great-grandfather lost his arm in one of the last battles before Stalingrad. This saved him. He survived the air attacks of the allies over Germany in the last years of WW2. After the war he married my great-grandmother. That he lost his arm was the blessing of god.

I have to respect the Russian people. I can’t imagine what the people went through who lived through this. This has to be one of the worst places to be in all human history.

@@christopherbaltazar473 i respect all the women that fought, they were very brave indeed, but youre comment phrases is it as if they had it worse, which is delusional at best. lets not pretend that the most hellish situations in warfare arent usually faced by the males in warfare history, looking at this from a gender perspective, the vast majority of the women were combat medics, trauma nurses, cooks and military logisticians, that was a fact then, and still is today and i dont wanna see that changed anytime soon in war to be honest. why would i want women in war to suffer as much as the men anyway? this is a category i wouldn't want to be equal in. "But. They had the added threat of rape and other disgusting situations even from their own side. Very brave women" lets not go with the "added threat" based on gender argument, as if we look at statistics, the male soldiers witnessed and suffered substantially far more horrors, something the phrasing of your comment kinda belittles. you also pretend male soldiers get along well and add no additional threats towards each other, which is a silly and dismissive notion, you obviously are barely well versed in military history, theres more to military abuse than sexual. i dont actually recommend looking up the situations of military conflict as a male soldier/prisoner of war, hell ive read stories of german security guards being tortured to death trying to get confessions of treason purely because they didnt engage in certain political conversations. lol added threats from your own side...all your comment did was shine a moronic gender light on something that didnt need it, but for some reason empathy is still only afforded towards the women in many of these conversations, when in reality the men had to suffer through most of the horrors of warfare. when male soldiers die, theyre soldiers, when female soldiers die, they were women and had it much worse for some reason. Russia still hasnt recovered its pre war male population lol, and germany only did a little over a decade ago. victimhood in combat warfare was always male dominated, and frankly deep down i dont want that to change, people that do are psychopathic. and before people freak out on me, my grandmother fought and died protecting her house in the syrian civil war back in 2010, my great grandfather was a kurdish general in the final eras of the ottoman empire and my grandfather is a military base planner/ logistician. 99% of the time they were recounting horrors of war, it was something horrific being done to a man, and chances are, that applies to most soldiers globally, interpret that how you see fit, maybe have a little sympathy in your next interpretation.

I always start thinking of the thousands of insane things that happened where the stories will never been known because everyone involved ended up dead. One thing that's changed recently in my thinking of this battle is the age of the German soldiers. I always imagined battle hardened men, and when a film shows a German soldier I'd think the same, when in fact many German soldiers were just boys under 20 years old. The approx 11k German soldiers in Stalingrad who refused to be taken prisoner after Paulus surrendered, they must've had incredible stories of survival, deaths of friends, injuries, starvation, good times once in a while, bad times overall. Those poor boys. The great thing is the instant they died, they were immediately bathed in love and light and forgiveness. They were instantly healed and made whole.

Who knows if some of them held a transformative discovery within themselves, or if some of them could've saved lives of other people in any other situation.

12:25 Paulus had moved his headquarters from Golubinskaya to Nizhne-Chirskaya before the envelopment. He would be ordered to establish his headquarters inside the envelopment.

An important thing to note here, which is related to these 5k German POWs who were the only ones to return. The main reason why there is such a small number of survivors from captivity is not a consequence of the Soviet treatment (although there is some of that), but the previous desperate state of the Sixth Army before the surrender. Hunger, disease, frostbite and lack of medical care are the main reasons for the death of most prisoners from the 6th Army.

Oh come off it. The Soviets happily inflicted a man made famine on Ukraine killing millions of people in one of the most fertile agricultural regions of the world, millions of their own citizens. And that was before the great purge. Barbaric treatment of prisoners, dissidents, and inconvenient nationalities is habitual for the Russians. To think they wouldn't intend to kill by long cruel mistreatment their enemies captured in battle...you have to be extraordinarily naive. They are showing their nature again here in Ukraine now (I live here, and am glad my ancestors didn't serve the Soviets who tried to exterminate our people, nor did the Soviets succeed in catching and executing my grandfather after the war, as they liked to do to patriots in the lands they occupied - he made it abroad).

Soviets: Give up and we will treat you nicely Paulus: hold on let me ask hitler rq Hitler: NO Paulus: sorry :( hitler said no :(((

You should do a long documentary on WW1

My father's great uncle was forcibly mobilized into the German army and sent to the Eastern Front, he also survived the Battle of Stalingrad, where he also defected to the side of the Red Army. what he saw and what he went through, I'd rather not write because my comment would be deleted, the fact that after the war he couldn't sleep without the light on and that he had nightmares every night is enough.
