A good place to start would be to read Antony Beevor's famous recent historical bestseller Stalingrad. It should be in just about any public library. Good luck!lennyu wrote:I understand that 100K surrendered and only 5K were released.
Are there still any of those 5K alive. Has any of them written on their experiences. what sources are there for, in general, Russian POW camps.

Re: Stalingrad Prisoner Survivors
Hello,
How can one trace a soldiers unit & duties if he was part of the Sixth Army and survived?
He returned home after 5 years in captivity.
Thanks.
