i know his first combat was in stalingrad and he did fight in kursk. What a lucky man he fought in like the major battles of the 20th century. But if you asked him he isn't lucky according to him.

Stalingrad? wow! If "Enemy at the gates" was at all accurate, that place looked like hell on earth.

He's lucky that he fought in one of the most bloody battles of the 20th century and survived! Also it's somewhat cool, in retrospect of course, that he fought in the biggest tank battle ever. Stalingrad sounds rough. It could have been rougher though ... he could have been a German who faught in Stalingrad .

+1
I dont think the brits get much credit for some of the breakthroughs we had. But yes, the russians were in a worse spot.
Theres so many attrocities from ww" that dont get much publicity, like the Rape of Nanking...reading that stuff made me vomit, literally
