Well, first off, the close combat with entrenching tools, and anything else they could get ahold of, was during the entire Eastern Front war, not just Stalingrad. The Eastern Front was brutal, it wasn't just one city, where the fighting suddenly turned bestial.
Again, we see a European who thinks all of us learned about ww2, from SPR. Give us some credit, man, your sounding just a tad high handed.
I've seen Stalingrad...quite a few times, in the original German, with subtitles. Again, Europeans aren't the only ones who can watch movies with subtitles.
Calm the attitude down, though, and I might like you. However, insulting all Americans won't make you many friends. I happen to know a lot of stupid and intelligent people...who come from all over the world.
Enemy at the Gates, was ok...nothing spectacular. A little too much romance, and not enough down and dirty, gritty realism.
IMO
BTW, I'm American.

You, my friend, must not be very good at Geography, Incase you didn't realise, I'll educate you...Have a look at that big old Map of the world and have a good look at the southern hemisphere...see Australia, all the way down there, European you say!, Well, I'm suppose the next thing you'll be telling me is
BallisticWookie is from Asia.
I'm calmed down, you appear to be a well educated (at least in Military History...less so in geography!) and you sound quite nice so I'll leave it there, just one thing though, what did you mean by "Again, another European" or did you mean "Australian" ; )
