Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:04:17 +0000 #comment-787662 Thanks and respect to all the Russian soldiers and their families for their sacrifices, they are the ones who really won the war against the Nazis. This is from Britain, we were the lucky ones when you compare against the scale of the bloodshed on the Eastern Front. Rest In Peace, that we may yet learn not to repeat our mistakes. Cliff, don't dishonour the dead your with ignorance of what war is really like, the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union (amongst many other places), they asked for anything they got and Stalingrad was their humbling. I feel sorry for the Russians having to lose HALF A MILLION PEOPLE to the one battle, let alone the tens of millions they sacrificed all perhaps just because the Nazis felt like some extra room.

Sat, 27 Aug 2011 18:45:56 +0000 #comment-717906 I wouldn't say that the Germans were left at the mercy of the Russians. Not exactly, anyway. The German 6th Army was a well-oiled machine that made a trail of destruction over a thousand miles inside of the Soviet Union. The Russians were able to surround Stalingrad after the Germans conquered 90% of the destroyed city. As winter set in, they ran out of food and froze and staved to death. I cannot imagine how horrible it was and you're right, Hitler refused to allow Paulus to make a break while there was still a chance. The average German soldier was doing their job, but the Nazi regime had to be destroyed. I wouldn't say that the Germans were left at the mercy of the Russians. Not exactly, anyway.
