Interesting! Did he leave a written account of his experiences in Stalingrad? Or did anyone else who may have survived the grain elevator? Were there any frontovik survivors who were _not_ wounded? I don't mean just in Stalingrad. It seems inevitable, given the way the Red Army organized and fought it's campaigns, that anyone on the front (or the FEBA, in US DoD parlance), was going to get hit, eventually. And, after recovering if they were put back on the front, hit again...
