Max Hastings
The street is no longer measured by meters but by corpses ... Stalingrad is no longer a town. By day it is an enormous cloud of burning, blinding smoke; it is a vast furnace lit by the reflection of the flames. And when night arrives, one of those scorching howling bleeding nights, the dogs plunge into the Volga and swim desperately to gain the other bank. The nights of Stalingrad are a terror for them. Animals flee this hell; the hardest stones cannot bear it for long; only men endure.
Max Hastings, Inferno: The World at War, 1939-1945

Wie eerlijk is, kan, hoe hij ook over het communisme moge denken, zijn bewondering niet onthouden aan de Russen en hun militaire leiders wegens hun moed, hun volharding en hun bekwaamheid toen zij in 1942 de Duitsers bij Stalingrad wisten staande te houden en vervolgens het getij van de oorlog, met benutting van Stalingrad als springplank, te hunnen gunste konden keren.
Ronald Seth, De slag om Stalingrad
