PBS: Battle for Stalingrad(now Volgograd)
Photos from Victory Park
This is a somber yet beautiful memorial to Russian WWII losses against German invaders.
My father was a navigator on a B17 bomber on the other side of the world in the Pacific. The Russian sacrifice in this conflict is almost unimaginable.
I felt a connection.
