Reviews
The essays offer an unvarnished look at not only the severe fighting that characterized these months, but also the simple attempt to survive the rampant disease, malnourishment, and harsh winter on the steppe and in the ruins of Stalingrad., This is a book that sheds light upon the best and worst of the human condition. It stands as testament to the baseness of mankind as well as the astonishing levels to which it may rise; both its greatest strength and its limitation. Busch's book is disturbing and thought provoking and is a memorial to those who sacrificed for their country and their comrades.

Synopsis
In November 1942 - in a devastating counter-attack from outside the city - Soviet forces smashed the German siege and encircled Stalingrad, trapping some 290,000 soldiers of the 6th Army inside. For almost three months, during the harshest part of the Russian winter, the German troops endured atrocious conditions. Freezing cold and reliant on dwindling food supplies from Luftwaffe air drops, thousands died from starvation, frostbite or infection if not from the fighting itself. This important work reconstructs the grim fate of the 6th Army in full for the first time by examining the little-known story of the field hospitals and central dressing stations. The author has trawled through hundreds of previously unpublished reports, interviews, diaries and newspaper accounts to reveal the experiences of soldiers of all ranks, from simple soldiers to generals. The book includes firsthand accounts of soldiers who were wounded or fell ill and were flown out of the encirclement; as well as those who fought to the bitter end and were taken prisoner by the Soviets. They reflect on the severity of the fighting, and reveal the slowly ebbing hopes for survival. Together they provide an illuminating and tragic portrait of the appalling events at Stalingrad., "The essays offer an unvarnished look at not only the severe fighting that characterized these months, but also the simple attempt to survive the rampant disease, malnourishment, and harsh winter on the steppe and in the ruins of Stalingrad." -- Globe at War In November 1942 - in a devastating counter-attack from outside the city - Soviet forces smashed the German siege and encircled Stalingrad, trapping some 290,000 soldiers of the 6th Army inside.

- v***i (809)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis was a situation where the post office played hide-and-seek with this order. Neither the seller nor myself could pinpoint exactly where the package was after the supposed delivery day. In the end, he refunded my money. And, by chance, the stamps arrived a day after he had done so. To make up for this, I have bought a number of stamps from this seller since then. I thank him for his timely communication and patience. I was also happy to eventually receive this particular set of stamps.Germany 3rd Reich 1935 Welfare Fund Mi# 588-597 Complete Set MH *(FREE SHIPPING) (#226731083857)
