though the love affair appears to have been real, the duel is a matter of dispute in historical circles. i have never found any credible evidence that it actually happened, and only fairly convincing evidence that it did not. therefore, i tend to sit in the camp that chalks it off as a work of propoganda.[/QB]
LIke I mentioned earlier, if you read the book Enemy At The Gates, it does mention the duel, although it's very small part of the book. This isn't a novelization of the movie, but a book about the battle of Stalingrad, and was published in the 70's. You can probably find it at a library. My boss loaned me his copy to read. Very informative book about that battle. No wonder Hitler lost the war.

and some astounding Finnish snipers from the 1939 winter war. shame about that little side show, the allies really gave the Finns the short end.
