Breakout at Stalingrad par Heinrich Gerlach

Very interesting and excellently written. Sometimes a bit of a slog to get through, but I think that is kind of fitting.

Doorbraak bij Stalingrad par Heinrich Gerlach

Gruwelijk verhaal over het verraad en in de steek laten door Hitler van het 6e leger (300.000 mannen) in 1942 in Stalingrad. Ze moesten doorvechten tot de laatste man terwijl iedereen wist, ook Hitler dat deze strijd niet gewonnen kon worden. Deed me erg denken " Leven en lot" van Vassili Grossman. Het lijden en maar doorgaan in kou, nattigheid, radeloosheid toch ook door kameraadschap is onvoorstelbaar.

L'armata tradita par Heinrich Gerlach

Stalingrado, inverno 1942-43: uno dei più aspri e sanguinosi scontri di tutta le guerra, 22 divisioni di soldati tedeschi e romeni agli ordini del feldmaresciallo Friedrich Paulus annientate mentre Hitler tuonava: La resa è impossibile, la sesta armata adempirà il suo dovere combattendo fino all´ultimo.
Una battaglia epica e infernale nel racconto drammatico e minuzioso di uno dei sopravvissuti della Wehrmarcht fatto prigioniero dai sovietici, intervistato in Appendice da Enzo Biagi.

The Forsaken Army: The Great Novel of Stalingrad… par Heinrich Gerlach

There were worse places to be in World War Two than Stalingrad, one of Hitler’s death camps for instance, but not many. When the Germans were surrounded in November of 1942, Hitler had no intention of allowing them to break out. Of the almost 100,000 men who surrendered in January of 1943, only 5,000 made it back to Germay after the war and that wasn’t until 1955. The author was one of the 5,000. This is bitter novel but by far one of he best novels written by anyone in World War Two. If you haven’t read it then you are missing out on one hell of a reading experience.… (plus d'informations)
