Stalingrad: digging near Gorodisсhe & Gumrak

[Sebastien]

Yesterday night ... Mamaev Hill ...

I found the position of the German machine gunner ...

Nothing interesting, only shells ... hundreds of shells...

[Wagriff]

One has to wonder how many men were killed or wounded by that huge pile of innocent looking old shell casings....How many lives ended in an instant from that heap of brass...

I wonder if the line of fire could be determined and then go and see what can be found in the target area,,,

[Sebastien]

I hope I can tell you more ... but later ...

it's amazing to dig in this place ... until 3 am I was digging there

here's the result ... but that's not all ... this is 50% of hole MG gunner

I wonder if the line of fire could be determined and then go and see what can be found in the target area,,,

I would imagine that the MG position being on Mamaev Hill, the directions of the contested attacks would have come from many directions.
