Stalingrad 1942/43: Over 250,000 soldiers trapped, Hitler forbids a breakout, Göring promises an airlift that never materialized – and of approximately 91,000 prisoners, only about 6,000 return home. This documentary explores: Hitler's pursuit of oil, the rat war in the ruins, Pavlov's House, Operation Uranus, Christmas in the cauldron, the Stalingrad Madonna, Paulus's surrender in the basement of a department store – and what constitutes myth.
