Personal Diary of General Freiherr v. Richthofen (September 1942)

General Freiherr v. Richthofen
16 September  1942

…The mopping-up in the city is progressing only very slowly, in spite of the fact that the enemy is weak and in no shape for hard fighting. The truth is that our own troops are both few in numbers and listless in spirit, and the High Command already has its eyes turned towards Astrakhan. With a little more combined and spirited action we could finish off Stalingrad in a couple of days.
