Can't go wrong with Osprey- I am sure they did a Stalingrad book in their campaign series.You can check their website as well.

An authority on the Russian Front is John Erikson, who has at least one book on the battle as well as other general ones. Anthony Beevor has a one in paperback that should be available at your local book store. Any good library should have these as well as others. Some good movies on the epic battle also are out. For diorama building, the Osprey is excellent. General histories of the Russo-German war would also have good summaries of the battle.

Eric,
I'd suggest viewing a copy of Enemy at the Gates or Stalingrad (the 1992 German version) as there are some terrific scenes in both movies that you can replicate in 54mm. Strangely enough, Osprey has not done a Stalingrad Campaign book yet, as if they did, would be a brilliant book to have.

Another suggestion is to get your hands on a copy of the PC game Close Combat, the Eastern Front as there are some terrific Stalingrad scenarios you can duplicate from that game.

Can you share a little as to the general size and layout of the diorama?

Regards,
George
