Infantryman in Stalingrad. The military diary of the commander of the Wehrmacht company. 1942-1943

Edelbert Holle, Lieutenant of the German Army, commander of the infantry company, talks in detail about the hostilities of his unit near Stalingrad and then within the city. Here, the fighters of his company as part of the infantry and then tank division fought for each street and every house, noting that in these conditions they had to master a completely different, previously unfamiliar type of battle. The Red Army rendered fierce and stubborn resistance, firing from a "any hole or a break in the wall and appearing even from the ground." Based on personal memories exclusively, the holler meticulously describes the course of hostilities, talks about severe losses, severe front -line life and the sad end of its Stalingrad epic
