I read about the heroic struggle of the population
of Stalingrad, and that everybody worked together.
Threatened by two sides, the German enemy on the
other side and Stalin's NKVD in their back.
In Duch there is a beautiful childrensbook "Boris"
from Jaap ter Haar about Stalingrad.
Shostakovich 9th symphomy abou Stalingrad is
very impressing and remarable, it's a tribute to the
people of Stalingrad who stood firm digging their
defense walls of mud, while dying from hunger and cold. Like the Warsaw population they fought for their city.
