  1. Not enough times.

  2. How could the Finns help stalingrad as they werea thousand miles away? Perhaps you meant Leningrad. The inns invaded the USSR along with the Germans. Not every Axis partner agreed to send troops to the Stalingrad area and the Finns having a very small population had no extra troops to send away from their front. Sending troops to Stalingrad is not what defines being in the Axis.

  3. I believe they could come home after 1953 with the death of Stalin.

  5. Hitler throughout the war insisted that the will would overcome any difficulty like being outnumbered in troops, tanks, artillery anf planes. Determination and willingness to sacrifice will only get you so far..

  6. Most of the German prisoners were taken in 1944 and 1945. Conditions were better in the USSR so the Soviets could feed and house POWs. Beforethen the prisoners would get very little.

  9. No they got out 30,000 on reurn trips. Since mosoralmost all of the time a plane would make one trip and so flying into Stalingrad either with or without supplies would be one trip and the 30,000 plus they evacuated is the number they could fly out plus maybe alittle more if everybody could stand.

  10.  @KungFuHonky  This is s matter of definition. Yes the Finns invaded the Soviet Union and not other countries. They had a different idea than National Socialism. The Finns could not have done anything at Stalingrad. Do you realize that Helsinki is 1100 miles 1700 kilometers to Stalingrad. Why would they want to send troops there when they needed their troops near Leningrad? As far as I am concerned they allied with Germany for whatever reason so they were in the Axis. The Finns did not go further into the USSR because of diplomatic pressure from the US. It is also a fact that the UK declared war on Finland. They assisted the Germans and that is enough for me. The Finns always want to excuse their invasion but there were Finns who wanted to annex Soviet territory and if things had gone differently and the Soviets collapsed they would have done so.

  11.  @KungFuHonky  Read my comments as to what I think of his argument and ask him if he has a bad conscience for supporting the Nazis in wwii. And ask him about the Finns who volunteered for the SS.

  12. A good book to read that talks about this and of course other things is The German War by Nicholas Stargardt.

  13. . You might have said that Glantz should not have written a 5 volume work on Stalingrad. It isn't for the average WWII reader but having the information in a set of volumes or a video rather than in hundreds and perhaps thousands of reports advances understaning of history and so does this video. Those who do not have that level of interest could glean information from much less detailed accounts that currently exist and that is fine for those who prefer that level of information.

  14. What is the citation?
