Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Informative and.......well,........ frightening read.
Just trying to imagine what Stalangrad was like gives me chills. When one wonders as to Russian motives or their hard line views, we need to remember their "recent" history dictates many of their actions. Amazing battle, even more amazing survival.

If you liked that article, go to Amazon and pick up a copy of The Forgotten Soldier, by Guy Sajer. It is a wonderfully terrifying true story of a conscript German soldier's experiences in the war with the Soviet Union.

This book is one of the classics of WWII and up there with A Helmet for My Pillow and With the Old Breed.
