Battle of Stalingrad on Soviet records, over 10,000 German soldiers continued to resist in isolated groups within the city for the next month. Some have presumed that they were motivated by a belief that fighting on was better than a slow death in Soviet captivity. Brown University historian Omer Bartov claims they were motivated by National Socialism. He studied 11,237 letters sent by soldiers inside of Stalingrad between 20 December 1942 and 16 January 1943 to their families in Germany. Almost every letter expressed belief in Germany's ultimate victory and their willingness to fight and die at Stalingrad to achieve that victory. Bartov
Stalingrad (book) Steve Komarnyckyj points out, that the text might be "manipulated with political intent". The ban was due to the Ukrainian Law No. 1780-19, which took effect in early 2017. It introduced amendments to legislation aimed at "restricting access to the Ukrainian market of foreign printed material with anti-Ukrainian content". The law imposes a permit system for import of printed material from an aggressor state (as of January 2018, this applied only to Russia) or from occupied Ukrainian territories. Stalingrad (book) Stalingrad is a narrative history written by Antony Beevor of the battle fought in and around the city of Stalingrad
