| Notes | Short vignette in which the title is instructive in understanding the context: 'Stalingrad'. The speaker of the poem describes a short note, left by a German soldier to a female relative or lover, during the brutal siege of the city. The siege and battle were considered some of the bloodiest events of modern warfare, with over two million casualties. |
