Der Rattenkrieg (Fortress Stalingrad)

[Sovjet]

Ruins, ashgrey, total devastation

Life already gone, existence of a nation

Silence dominates, between iron and stone

But don't even think you're alone

Craters bashed in, annihilate our creation

Walls taken down, to bury our nation

But holes you create, is digging your grave

From ruler to victim, you will be our slave

[German]

Sneaking, crawling, invisible hunters

You cowards don't fight, just fire from shelters

Death will rule your trench, while I am your fear

A shot from my rifle is the last you will hear

Your shelters will burn, eat from our guns!

Paulus will conquer and Chuikov will bow!

[A War Correspondent...]

Crosshairs duel, who's the first to pull the trigger

Mouser or Mosin Nagant, communist or fascist!

Attack or defence, forward or backward

The struggle for defeat, or the years for victory

Hero's cowards, generals and soldiers

Ruins, ashgrey, total devastation

[Sovjet]

Life still gone, existence of a nation

Silence has returned, the same cutting wind

"There's no land for us beyond the Volga"

[Vasili Zaitsev, hero of the Sovjet Union, Stalingrad premier sniper]

"The defenders of the city used to say that the streets, avenues and

parks near the Volga became slippery from blood, and that the Germans

slipped down to their doom." [General Chuikov]
