• "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
