    Was Wilhelm Hoffman's Diary published?

    Friends,

    Hopefully a quick question!

    Was the diary of the German Solider, Wilhelm Hoffman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Hoffman) who fought at Stalingrad ever published?

    His description of the fighting in and around the Grain Elevator, quoted by the "World at War" episode on Stalingrad is excellent IMHO.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards

    Ian

    Just giving this thread a quick bump in case it is of use to others.

    The quotes from the Hoffmann diary all come from Vasili Chuikov's book: "The Beginning of the Road". Chuikov states in that book he had the diary in his personal files.

    In my 1970 paperback copy the quotes from the diary start on page 267.

    Big thanks to Jason Mark for providing the answer.

    Regards

    Ian
