The Tragic History of the 16. Pz.-Div. During the Battle of Stalingrad January 1943 - Volume 2

Following the first volume of La Tragique Histoire de la 16. Pz.-Div. durant la Bataille de Stalingrad Décembre 1942 - Tome 1 engaged north of Stalingrad from September to December 1942, this dying division continues fighting against the 66th Red Army until 2 February 1943, under the command of Generalleutnant Angern.

Relentless, he refuses to surrender his division. The 66th Red Army, which has faced him for four months, is equally bled dry, but reinforcements keep arriving. Day by day, you follow the inescapable sacrifice of these combatants drawn into the hell of war, cold, hunger and death. Several surviving veterans add their testimonies and photographs — entirely unpublished — to this analysis. After reading this 500-page study of the Battle of Stalingrad, unfolding along a defensive line of barely ten kilometres, you will have discovered the horrific daily reality of fighters on both sides through every military operation rigorously described in detail, sometimes hour by hour.

A significant body of documents recently discovered in Soviet archives has made it possible to deepen this titanic research work, resulting in a publication that required nearly 7,000 hours to produce both volumes. This book contains 210 photographs, 15 maps and 239 pages.
