The documentary also follows the soldiers&#8217; experiences from the optimistic beginning of the Russian campaign in spring 1942 through to their ultimate defeat in February 1943.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Snow, historian, founder and creative director of History Hit, said: &#8220;These incredible letters provide unique insights into the experiences of these men. Written on the front line throughout the battle, they record the thoughts and feelings of the men fighting at the time of the conflict\u2014undiluted by the passage of time. History Hit is dedicated to unearthing new stories to help tell history in new and engaging ways\u2014these letters, along with radio recordings, video and photos, bring the battle to life like never before and provide a valuable snapshot of a nation&#8217;s radicalization and the horrors of war.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Historian Robin Sch\u00e4fer, who curated and transcribed the letters, added: &#8220;This really is a unique film\u2014nothing else gets us this close to these men and this battle. Telling their stories in their own words helps us improve our understanding of the mindset of the men who fought for Hitler and the Reich\u2014and as time passes and we lose the last of our veterans, these accounts and how we tell them become even more important.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The brand-new documentary Stalingrad: The Last Letters is set to debut on History Hit on September 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3087,"featured_media":21935,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[5070,5071,9971,9972],"class_list":["post-21934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-dan-snow","tag-history-hit","tag-robin-schafer","tag-stalingrad-the-last-letters","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>New Doc to Bow on History Hit - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/new-doc-to-bow-on-history-hit\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New Doc to Bow on History Hit - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The brand-new documentary Stalingrad: The Last Letters is set to debut on History Hit on September 12.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/new-doc-to-bow-on-history-hit\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-09-05T14:58:16+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-09-05T14:58:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/09\/HistoryHit-Stalingrad-0924.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/new-doc-to-bow-on-history-hit\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/new-doc-to-bow-on-history-hit\/\",\"name\":\"New Doc to Bow on History Hit - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-09-05T14:58:16+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-09-05T14:58:21+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/new-doc-to-bow-on-history-hit\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/new-doc-to-bow-on-history-hit\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/new-doc-to-bow-on-history-hit\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"New Doc to Bow on History Hit\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\",\"name\":\"Alexa Alfano\",\"description\":\"Alexa Alfano is associate editor at World Screen.
