Description
Last Letters from Stalingrad (German: Letzte Briefe aus Stalingrad) is an anthology of letters from German soldiers who took part in the Battle for Stalingrad during World War II. Originally published in West Germany in 1950, the book was translated into many languages, and has been issued in numerous editions.Unlike the usual military history accounts focusing on mass armies of anonymous men, the reader is presented with the personal tragedies of individual soldiers, the "single human being ... in the face of death", getting a tangible impression of the horrors of war. The letters are a "human document which bares the soul of the man at his worst hour"

Tegaki, why must you be so HARD.
Text added in Photoshop. No, I can't read German.
I seriously WEEP every time I watch/read a documentary about Stalingrad.

The content of the letter makes it all even sadder. The author writes home to his mom, and sends her wellwishes for her 46st birthday. And then he writes about hoping to come home soon.
Great choice of Background. But I guess, other vievers have told this before. ^^
A very good Anti-War-Hetalia-Picture!
I also love the facial expression. I interpret sadness and bitterness likewise.

I actually own this book, it's hard to read a few pages without biting your knuckle. The battle of Stalingrad always deeply interested me, this is just fantastic.

What amazes me most is that the letter in the background actually makes sense. Many artists dont bother watching out for such things. *favs*

You realize that I love you even more every time you draw such meaningful things. Seriously, you really know how to convey emotion like this. Its really hard to do I think, and you do it like nothing. You've very talented.
Not to mention, this is so well drawn. You've conquered Tegaki like a boss. Well done.
