I think #8 is actually a russian soldier. (gas mask, boots..)
Yep I think you are right. I was looking at his ammo pouch, but ya, nothing else matches up.
Thanks for the sharp eye! I've made the change to the photo.
Cheers,

PTSD Is My Life
The internal medal for the wars I still fight
As per usual, an excellent post DH this area of the war both fascinates and horrifies me as the loss of life and hatred for each other was unprecedented on both sides. I am in fact watching a russian program about the Post Stalingrad fighting.... I hope we never have to fight like this again.....

I highly suggest reading Anthony Beevors book on this battle (and all his other books on battles and wars). I had the pleasure of meeting him when I was in the army as he had served with the regiment that amalgamated into the one I served in. He visited as an 'old comrade' every now and again. He signed my battle for stalingrad book and the fall of berlin book. Great guy and author.
Bookmarked. Thank you.

People like to talk about the Ukraine meat grinder, but they don't know that Stalingrad was the center of the worlds most important battle in history, and hence the biggest meat grinder ever. Countless lives were poured into this battle, yet, you will not read about it in western textbooks.
