Yes, I thought the Germans were taller.
Yes, exactly. I am unaware of any SS divisions fighting in Stalingrad, nor, to the best of my knowledge, were there any Tiger Tanks in that battle as well. Tigers were not introduced in any significant numbers until 1943.
...Nice post...
You are correct, no SS at stalingrad.
The captions give the impression of Germans advancing thought the streets with little real resistance.
On the other hand, the russians have been know to take a little creative license with history as well. Many russians I know will tell you that the war in the pacific ended not because of our A bombs, but because the japanese feared the russians
where are the Romanians?
I have seen better dioramas. Nice attempt, but a bit crammed. Historically inaccurate... as are many of the paint-jobs.
T34-85s at Stalingrad? Oooooookay...
Damn nice modelling, though.

Don’t think there were any Tigers there either.
The Liebstandarte were almost sent.
Yeah, I was trying to be polite. After all, putting all those hours into the work and it being ‘wrong’.
It’s still good work.
I did an Alamo diorama in the 5th grade. I wanted to give Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie M-60s and the Kentuckians a couple Patton tanks, but Mom vetoed those improvements.
Very cool. Lots of Tamiya and Zveda figures there.
You could have put in a couple of strings of claymores and Mom would have never known the diference;)
