Stalingrad was a good movie. War of the Rats is written by David L. Robbins. It came out in 1999, a really good read, the ISBN# is 0-553-58135-X.

Hello Kocjo from Schomberg, Ontario Canada. I was just looking in the gallery and came across your photo of the Panzer-werk-station. Great picture of the Freis Crane. The camoflagued crane is full of great detail. Thanks for the great posting!
Best regards,
