Anybody ever identify who this or other soldiers in these Stalingrad photos were? A few officers were recognized in photos, but the ordinary enlisted men from Stalingrad mostly perished anonymously. This photo particularly stands out because the German soldier is very identifiable - had his parents ever come across this photo they could easily have recognized him - and very young. Just wondering if he or other anonymous landsers were ever recognized in these photos by their families.

Famous WW2 Quote

VICTOR AND VANQUISHED:
Is this Russian soldier showing mercy or pity
upon this German soldier, who looks tried, beaten even wounded.
Did both of these men survive to return home?
Could you have been able to capture an enemy
who earlier might have been killing your own comrades? Could you become Judge, Jury and
Executioner?
A soldier never knows, until he's faced with such a situation.
