In 1954 Bertelsmann published a slim volume called "Last Letters from Stalingrad".
It is a collection of letters written by German soldiers to their families, wives, girlfriends.
In one such letter a soldier writes:
"Hymns, novels and sacred songs will be written and sung. And in churches Mass will be said. I will no longer take part in those events. I have no intention of decaying in a mass gave."
