Stalingrad and the Russian Sniper Regime

I remember for months afterwards, I mean, it wasn't as bad as Berlin where the horrors were. But in Stalingrad, the stories of starvation. There were 10,000 civilians still left alive in Stallingrad at the end. 1,000 children who were completely feral, couldn't speak. They'd lived off roots or stealing food from the Germans if they weren't until they were killed. The snipers had orders to shoot down Russian children who'd been offered a crust of bread by German infantrymen. We simply did not have the ruthlessness that the Russians had.
