Benno Zizer's memoirs are a unique testimony of a German infantryman who managed to survive the Battle of Stalingrad. He talks about the path to Stalingrad, which ended with a grandiose defeat for the Germans. Zizer faced all the horror, all the senselessness and hopelessness of the war. The battle, without any prospects for the Germans, choked in a sea of ​ ​ blood. On the last day of January 1943, the German 6th Army surrendered to the Russians at Stalingrad.
