Excellent find. Wish there was an English translation, I'd love to know what the captions were.

I use Google toolbar and it has a translation function.
I have it set to ask before it does it but it is a nice feature.
It is one of the Toolbar "Tools" options.

They are some very fascinating shots...but hard to look at some of them when they convey even just a portion of how difficult surviving Stalingrad must have been. I stared at one picture for about 10 seconds before I realized it was a pile of horse hooves and horse shoes. I suppose it was in the German camp, but who knows...

The photos of the piles of dead German soldiers was particularly chilling. Frozen in death.

My first thought was of sadness. What a waste of life and resources. Thanks for sharing the link.

According to Google translator:
"Remains of horses eaten by Germans"

Here are pics of Stalingrad made in 1947:

It's interesting to me that even after the war had been over for 2 years, they still have German POWs.

Has anyone ever seen a small book "letters from Stalingrad". Letters home from German soldiers. Just makes you wonder what the human species can take. Makes you feel for every soldier who has ever fought. Bill

My dad has told me that he worked with a German soldier in the late 1960's who wasn't repatriated until 1955.

I've heard first-hand about that, too..

I worked with a gentleman back in the 80's who was a former junior officer in a SS panzer grenadier outfit. He told me that that out of his two brothers who were captured by the Soviets, one was repatriated in the 50's and the other was never heard from again...
