Never heard of or seen this before T. A great piece to display.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Thanks guys. The full story is very poignant and tells of how German soldiers would visit his bunker where it was on display just to have a few moments in front of the Madonna amid the hell of Stalingrad and the suffering brought about by the encirclement. I've read a few books with accounts about this, but you can easily learn more if you wish via a Google search.

That was very interesting Todd and as you said - very poignant. The images are also very haunting.
It’s posts like these that really add another element to the forum.

Kurt Reuber was a doctor in the 16th Panzer Division. In one of the photos in the book, he is operating a wounded soldier.
In this photo we see the Lutheran pastor, already in uniform in 1941 with his three children: Erdwin (8 years old), Ute (3 years old) and Hartmute (10 years old).
Several years after the end of the War, thanks to the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge the sons of Reuber received some objects from their father: A notebook with personal notes, some pencil drawings and a lock of the blond hair of their little Ute…. That he never spent a Christmas with his father again.
Utte Tolkmitt, born Utte Reuber, Reuber's youngest daughter, the one with the lock of blond hair recovered years later, reinvindicates the figure of her father and his work.
I discovered that the banner of an association of Austrian veterans of Stalingrad shows the image. I have two photos that I show you below and another one from Austria's Stalingrad veterans association.
Image of the meeting of the Stalingrad veterans from Austria in Limburg: the president, the auxiliary bishop of Limburg, and the standard bearer with the flag of the Austrian Stalingradbund. (Stalingrad Memorial in Limburg an der Lahn)
Again Todd: beautiful images to decorate your war room. Congratulations and I hope that the information I have added is interesting to you.
