“Be cursed by Stalingrad!” (Verflucht Seist du, Stalingrad!) – After the disaster on the Volga, where the Paulus army settled and the myth of the “invincibility” of the Reich was not scattered, there was no worst curse and a more terrible curse in the Wehrmacht. Here, in the Fiery Underworld of Stalingrad, the Hitler dream of world domination burned and the German Drang Nah Osten was stopped. And those who went further east wandered in endless columns of German prisoners of war. Among these frostbitten, wounded, dying from the hunger of pre-ends, there was a Viant Wuster, who passed all the circles of the Stalingrad hell and from a 20-year-old brilliant officer turned into a gray-haired decrepit old man who for the rest of his life hardened the front-line wisdom: “Be cursed by Stalingrad!”
About all this – about the merciless slaughter in the Volga steppes and the lost victories, about unheard of losses and an unprecedented defeat that broke the ridge of the Wehrmacht – he spoke in his book recognized as one of the most terrible evidence of the Second World War.
