Re: German survivors of Stalingrad

Hello
one must remember that LW flew out some 23000 men from the encirclement, mostly wounded of which at least 5000 died later because of their wounds. Unwounded outflown were specialists and highly regarded officers who were a bit older men, so if they survived the war they are very probably past away already but some of the younger wounded might still be alive.
