transcription:
On 12 So in July 1943 in the morning at dawn, attacks are always gone against the light? or? that is, with the light. So when the sun has shone as brightly from behind, then one has since attacked the enemy out. And in the morning when it was dusk, where you looking over to the Russian front, the approximately two kilometers away. There was the whole floor, as if he would spit fire. As far as anyone has seen it all? And shortly before, in March? So on 2 February 1943, has fallen since Stalingrad. And we were in the middle section. Stalingrad is indeed the southern sector. And since then, the Russians have also dropped leaflets with us, we will overflow or go home to our wives and children. The second army is approaching the same fate as the sixth in Stalingrad and such. And because they wanted to include at Oren the whole army. That is they did not succeed. And then they have just on 12 July frontally? the whole front? attacked head-on. And that was a barrage. If you have not personally experienced, you can not imagine that. Des was not a shot-thump-thump-thump. But r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r. As hundreds are taken simultaneously. It was like a doomsday. I can not imagine that because one can still get away. I'm not afraid that I do not get away, but I was puzzling, as there may still get away with one. And many are gefallen.ang
