Breaking into the suburban area of Stalingrad with this diorama, a Stug III/F and some infantry realized the fighting is getting harder every meter towards the centre. The StuG III / F is a rather old Dragon - kit pimped with Friul’s, ABER photo etched parts, an RB-barrel, a scratched baggage-rail and some parts pulled out of the rest-box. The truck is the Zvezda model of the Zis-5B and on which I have replaced almost every "wood-like" part with you guessed it wood. The figures are MasterBox, Tamiya with Hornet-heads. The pole and the Maxim is from Plus model, the building is scratch built from Styrofoam. The title of this Diorama is taken from a soldier-song of that time: 'Fahr'n wir ohne Wiederkehr' which translates as 'going further knowing not to come back home'.

There's a tense feeling to this scene, as if we had come just as the last echoes of the firefight died away. The Zis is one the finest recreations of a scorched vehicle I've ever seen. Well designed and beautifully executed!!!
