A WALL BY THE RIVER
In the spring, when the Volga opens up and the ice is carried down to the Caspian, ships and oil tankers, barges and rafts will freely make their way along the river at Stalingrad (states “Soviet War News”). Passengers will be able to read on the right bank the following words inscribed on a high stone wall. They were written there in the earliest days of the assault on Stalingrad, and the Soviet people intend to preserve them for ever: "Rodimtsev’s guards will stand here to the death.” Below is another inscription, added recently: “They withstood. They conquered death ”
