I've read some great books on the whole Stalingrad Campaign and some just on the Battle in the City.

Fascinating subject.

[fatima]

On her side-we are all Irish .Maternal-

[SAMWolf]

Blond-haired, Blue-eyed Irsh. What will they think of next? LOL

[fatima]

We have a 2 year old crystal large blue eyed redhead twin-Katherine-the one that gives you the looks.I know you are leading up to calling me fat.

[Light Speed]

Hitler...what a nut case.

General Von Paulus to OKW;

Army encircled despite heroic resistance...
Enemy forces are advancing from southeast and from the west in great strength...

The Don is now frozen and can be crossed.
Fuel supplies almost exhausted.Tanks and heavy wepaons will then be immobilized.
Amuntition acute....fuel for further 6 days.

Weichs of Army group B to OKW;

Despite the exceptional gravity of the descision to be taken,with far reaching consequences of which I am well aware,I must report that I regard it as necessary to accept General Paulus's proposals for the withdraw of Sixth Army.

Hitler in his elevated dungeon of Berchtesgaden;

"The 6th Army will form an all-round defensive position and await further orders...

Those units of the 6th Army that remain between the Don and the Volga will henceforth be designated....Fortess Stalingrad"!!

I bet Paulus knew he and 6TH Army were doomed when he got that Fantasy reply.

[SAMWolf]

LOL! Now why would I want to cat you Fat? Fatima is a nice name.

[SAMWolf]

Hitler turned everything in to "Fotress (Insert name here)"

He thought by saying it, it became real. Worked once in the winter of '41 before Moscow. The Hold fast orders probably prevented a worse disaster but that's the exception to his "Festung Strategy" which usually tie down troops that could have been put to better use elswhere.

[fatima]

You know Sam is better than Fat.Everything you say leads up to fat:)I am slimtima.

[SAMWolf]

Some names you don't shorten or abbreviate. There's a FReeper called Heart of Gold and I never shorten it to HOG.

[Jen]

Getting close to #200!!! Is there a prize, or should I just go to bed now?

[fatima]

SAMWolf,Don't start with me Sam or we will go though the list and shorten the whole bunch and as for HOG ,well they will have to live with it as so do I.Unless We take HOG and FAT to JR.

[Jen]

Blonde, blue eyes....

Karen sounds beautiful. I bet she's tall and skinny too, huh? (Everything I'm not!) ;-)

[Jen]

Some names you don't shorten or abbreviate.

Yeah, like Victoria DelSoul's. hahaha

[fatima]

5 foot 2 inches beautiful as you,a new girl,pray for her,hat almosts fits.I see you in her.

[SAMWolf]

LOL! Yep you got that right

[SAMWolf]

No prize.

[SAMWolf]

Well you can always change your screen name to something that shortens better.

[Jen]

I'm just 1/4" shy of 5'2". I hate being so short. But I've come to think of it as being "low to the ground" - like a sports car. hahahaha

You are making my head swell. Stop that!! ;-)

[Jen]

What you say?!? No prize??? I may have to go find another thread to hang out on.

Or, maybe I'll just go to bed. I gotta get up too stinkin' early tomorrow to go to Alabama.

[SAMWolf]

If you stay around about 10 more minutes, you can post the pinglist on the new thread. How's that for a prize?
