Victory is a word not strong enough to describe such a battle.

I plan on going there someday.

Read "Stalingrad" by Anthony Beevor...or, alternatively, don't.

I brought it last week.

Stalingrad....The battle that would change the course of history. I salute for those Russians and Germans who lost their lives there.

Wow, 60 yrs huh? Long time since that battle. Well, if anyones from Russia here, go and pay respects man.

How did the Germans exactly lost stalingrad? Something like the Russians surrounding the Panzer army somewhere??!!

russians have more respect for the Great Patriotic War than any other people

Id like to think so, they lost in the region of what 20 million people. ed: The closest number to that is germany with around 4 and a half million dead. ed:

More like 30 million.

You know, I never really realized what the conditions of the war were until I watched Enemy At The Gates. The first 20 minutes said it all, man.

Enemy at the Gates, is an awsome movie. I say to all those people who havn't seen it, GO OUT AND RENT IT, or better yet, buy it.

I also plan on going to a bunch of WWII Battle scences and such. Doubt I ever will see them all. But I promised myself that I would go at least into Europe!

i have been to the Moscow Victory Park, it is huge and thousands of people still visit it, kind of like the Wall in DC but everytown has a memorial of some sort.....

Enemy at the Gates is one of my favourite war movies, I downloaded it a few weeks ago.
Strange that they all had brit accents, I would have preferred a cheap russian one. But then I spose its better than having em w/ hollywood ones..

Vassili Zaitsev is one bad mofo.
