Rattenkrieg

created by El Puerco Loco

(idea) by El Puerco Loco (2.8 mon) (print)   ?   (I like it!) Wed Apr 11 2001 at 19:26:05

Term used by German soldiers to describe the fighting during the siege of Stalingrad. It translates to English as 'war of the rats'. The German army was trained and equipped to fight blitzkrieg battles on open terrain, and the soldiers detested fighting and living like rats in the sewers and burned out rubble of the city.
