    "Supplying the 270,000 men trapped in the "cauldron" required 700 tons of supplies a day. That would mean 350 Ju 52 flights a day into Pitomnik. At a minimum, 500 tons were required. However, according to Adam, "On not one single day have the minimal essential number of tons of supplies been flown in.". The Luftwaffe was able to deliver an average of 85 tonnes of supplies per day out of an air transport capacity of 106 tonnes per day. The 6th Army slowly starved."

    In all my years of learning about WW2 one thing that sticked with me the longest was the Wehrmacht's last stand at Berlin, be it willingly or of no choice for those soldiers. The prospect of continuing the struggle in hopes of at least stalling the enemy or buying time for a miracle, out of wishful thinking, to happen is unfathomable to our generation today. Compared to my previous Filipino countrymen that had the luxury of retreating to the mountains and jungles to stall and await for American reinforcements, the German army was literally in a hopeless last stand. The horrific thought of having no homeland to go home to will sure to take hold of anyone who has a degree of love for their nation, almost like zealously defending a civilization in the brink of armageddon.
    Defending your nation despite having clear and inevitable signs of defeat is an act that most of us might not be even willing to do in this day and age. I have tremendous respect to my veteran countrymen and the Allies, especially to the Americans for their help during the war; but to this day, no one has ever taken away my eternal admiration to the Germans who stood their ground in the face of obvious defeat and annihilation.

      Defeat and annihilation they caused themselves by murdering millions of innocent people.
      My hometown was incorporated into the Reich, and you know what?
      They gave people a fate worse than hell. More than 1/3 of the inhabitants were murdered within two months. The youngest victim was 14oy boy. He was tortured (a few days and then shot) for carrying the national flag. Hundreds of teachers, clergy, scouts etc. were exterminated to prepare the area for "colonization".
      After everything I have learned, after all the photos, how the Germans are drinking their coffee in peace (They built a cafe in the torture chamber. Interesting, isn't it?), where people are tortured downstairs , as they were digging mass graves in the surrounding forests, I think that what happened to them was just a poor substitute for Hell that they cooked for my people through the years of occupation.

    My grandfather once told me about his experiences from 1945. At that time he was present at the battle for the Seelow Heights.
    You can't even imagine what was going on there these days. For him, the noise of the Katyushas was the worst thing he had ever experienced. You lie in your foxhole with a comrade for hours upon hours and just hope that it doesn't get you. His comrade in the same rifle hole started to pray there.
    When the artillery fire stopped, they knew Ivan (Russians) is coming.

    I from Russia. My great-grandfather died while crossing the Volga to Stalingrad. Most likely aviation. Not the Grave, no remains. Only a common monument in his native village ... (sorry for bad English)
    supplemented
    I had a chance to participate in the parade in honor of the 75th anniversary of the Victory (we have such customs )ou can not imagine how difficult the climatic conditions are, in summer it is very hot and humid, the skin unaccustomed to the skin blistered in 40 minutes + sunburn spots ached for another 3 days. In winter there is a lot of snow and terrible cold was there in winter at 19 and in summer at 20. If this is transferred to the conditions of 1942-1943 + the absence of normal warm clothes and this is just hellish conditions for any person ... memory of the fallen soldiers of all sides ...
    (я из России) мой прадед погиб при переправе реки Волга. Скорее всего авиация. Ни могилы ,ничего, только общий памятник в родной деревне. дополняю. В 2020 году во время службы в армии, участвовал в параде в честь 75 годовщины Победы. (каждый год проходит парад) Вы не представляете какая здесь невыносимая жара ( прибыл в начале июня для репетиции парада из другого тёплого региона с СУХИМ воздухом) а из-за реки пусть она далеко, влажность постоянная и она усиливает жару, а зимой холод, пробирающий до костей. Были ясные дни, ни единого облачка.Когда нам приказали закатать рукава (так делают летом, чтобы не было жарко) наши не знающие офицеры дали такой приказ, и уже через 40 минут начали появляться волдыри, а кожа становилась не загорелой а красной. Ещё три дня у всех болели от небольших, но ощутимых ожогов. (P.S. наше оружие было темного цвета, и когда мы уходили на водопой оставляли его в тени чтобы оно остыло :) ) Я ни разу не жалуюсь на такие проблемы, я и мои товарищи достойно перенесли эти обстоятельства, но представьте, что вы там не на 4 недели сколько был я, а на несколько лет в условиях 1942-1943 годов (тогда климат был ещё хуже чем сейчас) мне страшно представить какой АД перенесли люди, и как это усугубляло абсолютно ВСЁ. Память всем воинам, отдавшим жизнь за свои страны....

As his offspring I don't want to claim the respect he deserves for myself and also it meant an incredibly tough childhood for my grandpa. Another great grandpa was wounded at Kiev and thus survived while his entire unit perished. Respect to all who fought, british, american and soviet, but my love goes only to the germans and our allies. The struggle aiagnst bolshevism and oligarchy was noble and necessary.

I had to read into the battle of Stalingrad and to say it was a horrific experience just by reading it alone would be the biggest understatement the world would ever see. Imagine you a young teen and your family not evacuating further to safety but holding a rifle and digging trenches waiting for the invaders of your homeland Stalingrad to come. Never knowing the actual horrors to await you in the Couldron.

    I see a lot of people are posting stories so here's my grandpa's. I never met him, everything was relayed to me by my mother.
    He was entrenched at or near Stalingrad, so close to the russians he could hear them talking in their other trench. He could hear a "Vasily" talking, and his own name was the Romanian version of that, "Vasile". Apparently there was a small local truce on Christmas, and the two exchanged gifts. For the rest of his stay, my granddad never tried to actually aim at the enemy again, as to not unknowingly hit Vasily.
    At some point he got wounded and extracted from the front. Doesn't really match with the timeline of the city getting surrounded, so I assume he wasn't in the encircled Stalingrad to begin with, but somewhere close. He lived and by the time he recovered, Romania had switched sides. He was deployed again on the Hungarian front and lived through that as well.
    He eventually died of old age. He lived in a small village, owned a hunting rifle and used to feed his dogs more than he fed himself, because he had to share his food with the dogs as a kid. Other than this and one or two random things, I don't know much about the man.

He saw combat a number of times, but eventually was forced to retreat all the way back to Germany. He survived the war but since my family isn't from Germany he was convicted of high treason by my government and served 7 years in a re-education camp until he received a general amnesty. He never much spoke about the war, and even when i was young i could understand and respect why. Rest now grandpa, i hope you've found peace.

      Der Onkel meiner Großmutter starb in der Schlacht um Stalingrad, irgendwo im Herbst 1942, ihr Vater kämpfte in der Nähe von Kursk, reiste durch ganz Europa, nahm Berlin ein und ich kämpfte in der Mandschurei gegen die Japaner. Ein anderer Urgroßvater in der Linie meines Vaters wurde 1941 eingezogen, geriet in Gefangenschaft und konnte erfolgreich fliehen, danach erreichte er auch Berlin und blieb ein Sieger, er starb vor einigen Jahren.
      Alle drei konnten in Jakutien ein friedliches Leben führen, aber all diese großartigen Menschen beschlossen, 8.000 Kilometer an die Front zu gehen, gegen die Nazis zu kämpfen und ihnen 2 Meter Land in der Breite und zwei Meter Tiefe unter einem Espenkreuz zu geben. Niemand hat dich in unser Land gerufen, dir wurden die Gräueltaten und die Barbarei auf unserem Land vergeben, aber sie wurden nicht vergessen. Jetzt bewegt sich Ihre Regierung langsam in die gleiche Richtung wie Ihre Nazi-Vorfahren und schickt Panzer in die Ukraine. Denken Sie an die Deutschen, im 45. Jahr haben unsere großzügigen Vorfahren Ihren Vorfahren vergeben, aber unsere Generation ist vielleicht nicht so unterstützend und gutherzig. Russland ist freundlich, Russland ist großzügig, aber es mag es nicht, wenn jemand an seinen Grenzen Chaos verursacht.

    My great grandfather fought for Italy in World War Two and when the Germans took over he was sent to Italy where he was put on a train to Germany. When he got there, he enjoyed the luxury of a work camp. Barely any food and his ww1 vet father had to find him but before that, america bombed the fuck out of the camp and his best friend was killed in the explosions. He survived somehow but the war had taken its toll. It’s actually an amazing story in itself how my great grandfather travelled through a continent for his son
