Stalingrad

Bunker entrance for the 1942 city defense committee.

Obelisk is in memory of the Red Tsaritsyn deaths at the hands of the White Guard, 1919. The eternal flame and plaque are dedicated to those who fought 1942-43.

This memorializes the August-November 1942 bombing. The city was completely destroyed in the first few days. The Luftwaffe continued flying nonstop over the next months, with an average of 1,000 sorties per day.

Volga River, facing east. I like saying that: „Here is a photo I took from the bank of the Volga River, facing east.“
