From the letters of the Nazi soldier Erich Ott sent from Stalingrad. August 23, 2942 : In the morning I was shocked wonderful spectacle for the first time through the fire and the smoke I saw the Volga river , calm and dignified in its current channel. We have achieved the desired goal - the Volga . But the city is still in the hands of the Russian . Why Russian rested on this side , do they think the fight on the edge ? This is crazy. November 1942 : We were hoping to go back to Germany Christmas that Stalingrad in our hands. What a great mistake! This town has turned us into a crowd of unfeeling dead ! Stalingrad - it is hell ! Russian does not like people , they are made of iron, they are not aware of fatigue, they do not know fear. Sailors on lyutom cold, going into battle vests . Physically and spiritually one Russian soldier stronger whole of our company ... The last letter is dated January 4, 1943 : Russian snipers and anti-tank riflemen - surely the disciples of God. They lie in wait for us , day and night , and do not miss the mark . 58 days, we stormed the one - the only home . Stormed in vain ... None of us will return to Germany , unless a miracle happens . And in miracles I do not believe it. Time has passed over to the Russian .
