Primary source: **"I was horrified when I saw the map. We're quite alone, without any help from outside. Hitler has left us in the lurch. Whether this letter gets away depends on whether we still hold the airfield. We are lying in the north of the city. The men in my unit already suspect the truth, but they aren't so exactly informed as I am. No, we are not going to be captured. When Stalingrad falls you will hear and read about it. Then you will know that I shall not return." ** **Anonymous German soldier **

Personal Journal: Today its one of the worst days. We are all so tired; we barely have any food of drink left. My 2 fingers are missing and I have frost bite on my foot. I just came from booming a family’s home and forcing them out. They had little kids. Sometimes I think how horrible every thing is and what would happen if it was my family or me. I want to get the land. I want to be on Hitler’s side. It feels powerful when I destroy things. What will happen to me? I took a bite of my half frozen chicken. I don’t know what will happen, but right now it is not looking so good.
