“Can we really have lost so many men? God damn this Stalingrad” Those were the words of a German soldier Wilhelm Hoffman when he saw the endless rows of crosses at Stalingrad in September 1942. Hoffman was just one of millions who fought bitterly and brutally for every inch of the ruined industrial city on the strategically critical Volga River. ‘The Battle of Stalingrad’ brings you up close to the young German and Soviet men who were sent to their deaths in that all-consuming battle. Find yourself in the generals’ headquarters, observe the bloody battles at close quarters and marvel at those civilians who survived against all the odds.
