"Don't move! yes! Don't move For rokosovsky, the most boring thing for him is not to bear a shame, but to face these seemingly endless reporters from Germany, Italy, Romania, France, Britain and other places.
"With all due respect, general troxerre, if you would have packed all these journalists into the army earlier, you would have at least doubled your army." Rokosovsky took the trouble to aim a poker face at countless cameras, letting the flash flash crackle.
In order to cope with these reporters coming from afar, on the second day of surrender, trohiler had to leave his original headquarters and transfer the headquarters of the whole group army to the headquarters of rokosovsky at the time of surrender. Then the two men were just like pets and left to be manipulated by the people of the Imperial propaganda department.
Even the Germans did not know where to find a Soviet flag full of holes and burning marks on it, and let rokosovsky perform the scene of handing over the flag and bowing again and again.
"General rokosovsky... You know, the capture of Stalingrad will have a significant impact on the foreign policy of Germany as a whole. So domestic journalists and high-level military officials in the South seem a little too excited. " After that, tricheler smiles at the camera and takes over the shabby flag from rokosovsky for the 10th time.
The top leaders of the Soviet Union and Germany have seen very clearly what it means to capture Stalingrad. As an important node of the German Southern offensive, the capture of Stalingrad could be regarded as the completion of the broken Volga River defense line. Now, in addition to deploying some troops to reinforce the defense line along the river, trohiller seems to have nothing else to do.
After completing the frontal defense along the wide Volga River, the German heavy armored forces finally had a relatively safe environment for the time being. At least before Stalingrad was again occupied by the Soviet Union, these German forces only needed to focus on dealing with the enemy in front of them.
The northward G group army will be reinforced by about five divisions immediately, which will undoubtedly be great news for the exhausted goodrian. At least the purpose of his troops going north has been achieved, and the rest is to consume each other with Zhukov.
The most important problem is that the German army has solved the last hidden danger of M group army's going south. At least general Manstein's strategic goal of seizing Baku oil field is more than half completed by the German army. Hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops in Baku were surrounded in a vast Soviet enclave and lost contact with Moscow. As for how long these troops can last, it is necessary to ask general Manstein's tanks and artillery.
"Needless to say, you and I all know what it means for the Soviet Union to lose Baku oilfield, but you should also know that it is impossible for the German army to occupy Baku intact." Rokosovsky is moving some stiff shoulders and cherishing the rest time he had to wait for.
Those reporters and officials from the German propaganda department raised almost countless questions to test rokosovsky's self-esteem, including his views on Stalin's reign of terror in the Soviet Union and so on. Anyway, the screws on these propaganda machines are intended to squeeze all the news out of rokosovsky before he is reused by the head of state.
It seems that there is a unified caliber. All reporters turn a blind eye to the civilians who bury their bodies outside the underground headquarters. They seem to have little interest in the poor women and children who are anxiously waiting for the German water truck with buckets.
The Germans can no longer be the enemy of the city. After simple disinfection, one after another, water tankers drive into the city full of ruins. Under the custody of armed Ukrainian soldiers, the local people finally drink "drinking water" slightly better than the river water.
"Don't rob! Line up A middle-aged man wearing a German flag armband was wearing a black Nizi coat, trying to maintain the order of the scene. These people were originally the administrators selected by Germany to maintain public order in the occupied areas, and they were originally "traitors" and "defectors" in the words of local residents. But now time has proved their choice. They have become a rare "face person" among the aborigines in this city.
In addition to the local poor are struggling for their own lives, there are more than 50000 prisoners here who are enjoying their working life in the concentration camp ahead of time. The men were in German custody, clearing the rubble. It is because of the efforts of these people that part of the streets were quickly restored to traffic.
Another reason for them to clean up the ruins is that there are countless deadly mines buried in the ruins, most of which are temporary mines planted by infantry, and there is no way to identify them on the map. So the German army cruelly used the prisoners to carry out the city's recovery work, and carried out the dangerous "demining" work for them in disguise.
Bodies that had long been beyond recognition were quietly lifted out of the ruins by civilians, many of whom starved to death in the hours before the resistance stopped. Hiding places for Soviet soldiers to commit suicide can be found everywhere. When they open the door from outside, there is a disgusting smell of deterioration.
Local civilians with masks or handkerchiefs walk into the rooms full of corpses without saying a word, and then drag out the corpses with guns or other weapons. The wall is full of splashing out of the red liquid, dry after all here closed in that eternal moment. From time to time, there was a cry, deep and faint. At least in front of the German soldiers, few people cried blatantly. After all, after a day's hard work, there is food as a reward. No one can't live for the sake of the dead and his family. Some slightly clean streets, there are already naughty children in the fun gallop, not far from where they play, is a huge pit has been filled with half the body. In a few months, these children began to see the corpse as a "thing". They were not afraid of blood or gunfire. They even looked curiously at the passing German patrols and looked at the winners from afar with bright eyes. The older and more sensible children began to sit on the roadside to polish shoes for the German army. These children were very experienced shoemakers. After all, in the most difficult years, they relied on this craft to bring german chocolate and potato flour home, which was more timely than the relief food provided by the Soviet Union. A city that had been dead, but just at the end of the battle, began to glow with birth machine. Although life here seems so fragile and small, but also to all people to prove that it is stubborn and tenacious. People seem to climb back from the crack of hell. Although it becomes broken, it instantly returns to the world“ A bag! yes! Just a bag of potato flour! " Among the ruins, a German soldier with a gun on his back is making a deal with two elderly local residents. He reaches out his hand and figures out the number, while the Ukrainian soldiers around him do some confused translation work. The two elderly civilians finally took out the jewelry in their pockets. It was glittering and seemed to be worth a lot of money. However, in this place tempered by gunfire, all the valuable things are food and life. A priceless work of art here is worth only a few bags of moldy potato flour at most“ These Germans don't seem to be as terrible as they think. They trade what they have in their hands for valuable things, politely greet the old people who pass by, take care of the children's business, and give candy and chocolate to those who shine shoes. " A Soviet officer, who was responsible for counting the prisoners with the German army, sighed to his assistant. A few days ago, he ordered a desperate fire to kill all the enemies in grey green uniforms. Of course, not all things are so prosperous, not all things are friendly and harmonious. In some dark corners, you can still hear the sound of guns floating away from time to time. German robbery and homicide complaints are common, and Soviet shooting and sneaking attacks on German patrols are not news. Hundreds of people die every day. After all, it's still the ruins, not the metropolis. Just as rokosovsky and tricheler stood in front of the camera again to supply ammunition for the German propaganda machine. Just a block away, a dozen Soviet soldiers who refused to lay down their weapons were eventually surrounded by a building. Instead of inviting them out politely and commending their courage and will to resist to the end, the Germans found an engineer with a flamethrower on his back and sprayed hundreds of high-temperature flames into the building from the window. The huge pressure made the fire burst out from all the windows around the building, accompanied by the screams of people inside. In the cruel laughter of the German soldiers, everything returned to calm, but when the people came to clean up the bodies, we found that there were 40 different kinds of bodies inside. Obviously, there were many civilians inside, because a corpse was carrying a child in his arms - they were gathered together by the Soviet soldiers who rushed in, and those Soviet soldiers obviously wanted to resist... What no one thought was that it was not the German soldiers who rushed in, but the fire. The German army recorded that Stalingrad's last resistance took place one month after rokosovsky ordered his surrender.
