Unseen Images: Battle For Stalingrad

The Russians in action.







This picture is from September 1942. The battle had just begun. And the Germans were full of the fighting spirit. It was winter that brought doom to the Germans








The determined Russians


A Russian gun booms as death lies everywhere


Russians advance


Russians questioning a German officer. The expression of the Russian soldier says it all


German POW


German tanks lie abandoned


Fighting in the factory


The pitiful Germans who survived the Battle, but they did not live to see the end of the war. Only 10,000 of the 90,000 German POW  made it back home alive

    The picture saying it is from September 1943 should say 1942..The Battle for Stalingrad was over by February 1943.
