I haven't watched the 5 just now, but when it came out I did, and more recently there was a German film about Stalingrad. It's all very grim and gothic, what with the reduction of the pocket, some officers trying to get out at any price, and people hanging off the wings and wheels and dropping off at 2,000 ft. I think I remember that the population of Stalingrad was forbidden to leave. I don't know how many that would have been. Could it have been 300,000?
