  1. The German press writes: The Russians are fighting better... than expected "The Russians are fighting better than expected. The attacks since Thursday have not yet led to the liberation of any cities or even villages," writes Bild, describing the events on the southern front. You read these reports of the German press today about the unexpected resilience of the Russian army, and you remember that 80 years ago, already other Germans, in the same way, at first with surprise, and then with horror, wrote... the same: "October 1, 1942. Our assault battalion reached the Volga. More precisely, the Volga is still 500 meters away. Tomorrow we will be on the other side and the war is over." "October 3. Very strong fire resistance, we cannot overcome these 500 meters. We are standing on the border of some grain elevator." "October 6th. Damn elevator. It is impossible to approach him. Our losses exceeded 30%." "October 10th. Where do these Russians come from? The elevator is no longer there, but every time we approach it, there is a fire coming from under the ground." "October 15th. Hooray, we have overcome the elevator. There are 100 people left from our battalion." And a little lower: "It turned out that the elevator was defended by 18 Russians, we found 18 corpses." Comment: I would advise modern Germans (and not only them) to read the memoirs of their own soldiers, officers and generals of that war, who ended their "victorious" campaign in Russia by capitulating in Berlin. As we can see, history repeats itself here too,
