I am interested in books regarding this regiment and the 20'th Division, I know there is a book writen by a survivor of the 83'rd Infantry Regiment, but i can't find it! Thanks again, hope to hear some more from you! |

| Do you have any stories from him regarding the participation to Stalingrad battles ? Anyone knows which army Reg. 83 Inf. was part of - 3rd or 4th ? |

| D13-th_Mytzu, i will ask my father regarding Stalingrad. what i know is that he escaped the encercliment and he was not injured or captured in the war. i think the 83'rd Infantry Regiment was part of the 4 th Romanian Army. |

| ocoleanui you are right...i forgot to say that he was a seargeant and he was part of "bateria transmisiuni"...could that been a fact that put him in a "better" position ? |

| Maybe , because many soldiers vere taken make POW . Very lucky men |
