A medium firm mattress is ideal for this type of sleeper. For side sleepers, a mattress with slight softness is necessary to cushion the shoulders and hips. Stomach sleepers (who very likely sleep this way because of lower back pain) need a firmer mattress to keep them afloat.
Nowhere is the Volga River more hallowed than in the city named after it: Volgograd, better known to history as Stalingrad. During World War II, perhaps the bloodiest battle in history took place there. A total of 2 million people were lost on both sides in the fighting from the summer of 1942 to February 1943.
On 1 September 1941 mass evacuation was announced for the approximately 440,000 Volga Germans. Ten days later they began their forced deportation to Kazakhstan and Siberia. Many were forced to work in the Trudarmee (labor army) in camps such as Kolyma. The Volga Germans were then stripped of their citizenship and did not regain their civil rights until after Stalinâs death. The Volga Germans were now treated as prisoners and were transported by rail to the camps.
