I also heard from an old uncle in my village how the soldiers talked about a luminous woman seen on the front in Stalingrad, but he never said the exact date of November 11. I will ask my cousins ​​if they still remember the details and send to the diocese if anything is clear. Thanks for collecting these testimonials.

My mother-in-law also told me about her uncle who fought near Stalingrad. He said that the soldiers saw a woman in light clothes on the hill on the very day when the Germans went on the last big offensive. If the Volgograd Diocese collects such stories, it is worth writing to them, because in our country it was passed down from generation to generation.

My grandmother also once told me about her uncle, who was at Stalingrad. He spoke of a bright figure on Mamayev Hill on the very day the Germans launched their last major attack. I'll pass this on to the Volgograd Eparchy, maybe it will fit in with the other reports.

Iryna, it is interesting that the mother-in-law mentioned exactly November 11 and that last big offensive of the Germans. In our family, we also heard something similar from an uncle who was near Stalingrad - he said that after that vision, the soldiers seemed to gain strength. Please write to the diocese, because such stories from generation to generation should not disappear.

Yes, Mamayev Hill is mentioned in several reports. My uncle was there too and told a similar story about a glowing female figure who suddenly stood between positions. Do you remember the exact date or just the day of the attack?

Yes, Mamayev Hill comes up again and again. My own aunt from Cologne had a distant cousin who was there as a medic and later told of a bright female figure who stood between the trenches on exactly November 11th. Do you remember the exact year your grandma told you that?

Yes, November 11, 1942 corresponds exactly to the difficult phase of the fighting on Mamayev Hill. My own mother-in-law told me the same thing; she was still a young girl near Stalingrad at the time and remembered the bright figure between the positions. In what year did your aunt write down her cousin's report?

Yes, November 11th really fits in with the worst time on Mamayev Hill. My aunt wrote down her cousin's account in 1987, when he was already seriously ill and wanted to tell everything again. Did your mother-in-law provide more details about the bright figure, or was it more of a brief impression for her?
