And yeah those militiamen are there solely to fill in gaps and be a speedbump. Makes me wonder if there was ever a diary, short or not, about one of the factory workers who then found himself on the frontlines, all within Stalingrad.

Personally my favorite story is the 1077th Anti-aircraft Regiment, which was almost entirely young woman who had only recently graduated from High School. They dropped their AA guns to the lowest height and fought the 16th Panzer division by themselves until they were almost all overrun and killed at their guns.
