RE: "Stalingrad," a film of the battle from the German side. The problem

While I agree that it's not the best war film around, I'd have to say that it is as least worth watching, especially if you are interested in the battle of Stalingrad.

As for the humanity of the German soldiers, they were indeed human, even though their own suffering was surely brought upon themselves --- and the Russians paid them back in full, with interest, all the way back to Berlin.

While we're on the subject of Stalingrad, I would suggest a recent book by Michael Jones: Stalingrad: How the Red Army Survived the German Onslaught. Jones gets into declassified Russian reports and gets underneath the Soviet propaganda machine for a very revealing look at various stages in the first part of the battle. Amazing read.
