Oh? Where'd you get that information? Because I just looked up some stuff, and, I already didn't believe that, but this is what I found.
"Sixty years after the battle of Stalingrad, which took the lives of half a million Soviet soldiers and about 150,000 German troops, historians still cannot say how many civilians died as the city was pounded to rubble during the 200 days of fighting. But it was tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. Some had stayed voluntarily to help defend their city. Others were discouraged or prevented from evacuating to escape the Nazi onslaught. More than 400,000 civilians were in Stalingrad when the battle began on July 17, 1942..."
They were not forced, but stayed voluntarily. Which makes sense. They weren't able to leave because they could have easily been spies/Germans/Axis. It's kind of like when a school has a lock down/out. Nobody can go or leave the school/classrooms. And if you were against Germany (which I'm sure many of the people in Stalingrad were, if not all (hell, they invaded them. It only makes sense to hate every German for the few that were commanded to invade.. Hmm.. Sounds like something familiar.. >_>)), then the only logical thing to do is fight. Duh. (sarcasm. Kind of comparing Stalingrad to America and the WTC and all that stuff. And how ignorant the majority of people were about that, and just wanted to kill every Middle Eastern person they saw/knew of. Damn am I sickened by people.

Oh well.)
^^ There ya go, mixster!

People in America don't seem to understand logic. Damn us.. :< Well.. then again.. America is quite a religious country..
