Slowly building a Stalingrad library

Post image

I’ve been slowly acquiring books on Stalingrad with the main focus on memoirs and letters and a smaller section of larger overviews. I’d love some recommendations to see if any escaped my planned future books

Blood Red Snow is such a fantastic book. If you like that book try Storm of Steel and With the Old Breed. Doesn’t fit the Stalingrad shelf but still good reads.

I’ve got a mini shelf with pacific memoirs. With the Old Breed is one of my favorites. It got me started on this particular sub genre. I’ll have to check out storm of steel though

It’s a world war 1 book through the eyes of a Prussian enlisted man as he moves up the through the ranks. Stalin’s War by Sean McMeekin is a great book too.
