Stalingrad: The Death of an ArmyThe author used his experiences as the basis for his documentary novel Stalingrad, which was eventually translated into 26 languages. Stalingrad is one of the most important works of literature to emerge from the eastern front. Its pitiless descriptions of battle and the failures of the German military leadership indicts Hitler's megalomania and illustrates the senselessness of war. |
