First of all I would like to thank Mr Josef Mairinger.

Mr Josef Mairinger, Stalingrad veteran, went in Russian captivity end January 1943.
After being prisoner in several Russian P.O.W. camps he was released in October
1947. He was one of the lucky few who stayed alive and came back home.
If you like to order his book "Meine jugend in Stalingrad" please contact me.
I believe he's working on a English edition. By reading his book I became addicted
to the Battle for Stalingrad. 

A very big thank you to Mr K.R. who visited me for several days
and gave me "loads" of information about Stalingrad. Poor guy, it was raining
the whole day and night when he drove his 1100 km back home. 
I had a great time the 5 days that I was your guest in Austria. (End October 1999)
I think we became good friends.

Then I would like to thank the several German Stalingrad veterans that I' ve met.
Also members of the German 16.Panzer Division who I've met in Münster
Germany, September 1999. Especially Mr Gerd W. Doepner and Mr Heinz Streffing.

A special word for Mr Jason Mark (Australia) and Mr Hans Wijers (The Netherlands).
Both researching the Battle for Stalingrad as no-one did before. Without their help this site 
would not be like it is now.

As for the Order of  Battle for the 369th Croatian Regiment, I used George F. Nafziger's
"German Order of Battle in WW2" book, Volume 7 (Russian, Croatian and
Italian Soldiers in the Wehrmacht) as a source of information. If you would
be interested in contacting Mr. Nafziger (who is a private researcher of
military history), he can be contacted at: G.F. Nafziger, P.O. Box 1522,
West Chester, Ohio, 45069-1522, USA. He has an extensive published
collection of Orders of Battle!
