Summary:

Gunther Koschorrek wrote his illicit diary on any scraps of paper he
could lay his hands on. As keeping a diary was strictly forbidden, he
sewed the pages into the lining of his thick winter coat and
deposited them with his mother on infrequent trips home on leave. The
diary went missing and it was when he was reunited with his daughter
in America some forty years later that it came to light and became
"Blood Red Snow." The horror and confusion of fighting in the streets
of Stalingrad are brought to life by his descriptions of the others
in his unit: their differing manners and techniques for dealing with
the squalor and death. This harrowing book takes the reader to the
front line and paints a very human picture of what life was like
under relentless Russian attacks in freezing conditions. As
Koschorrek says in his introduction, the book stands as a memorial to
the huge numbers on both sides who did not survive and is, over five
decades later, the fulfillment of a responsibility he feels to honor
the memory of those who perished.
