13th Guards Rifle division - Heroes of Stalingrad?

[Twix]

Can anyone tell me any detailed accounts of the 13th Rifle division at Stalingrad? Apparently, the divison crossed the Volga on September 13th just in time to save Stalingrad from capture by the Germans.

Anything else?

Only 320 out of initial 10000 survived the battle of Stalingrad. Their sacrifice saved Stalingrad.

Does any of you know how many out of these 320 survivors from Stalingrad could see the Victory Day?

Kim, not all of other 9000+ were killed, many were wounded or be sick and evacuated.

Then, how many of them survived the war?

[Andreas]

At least one did.

All the best

Information about the Division at Stalingrad can be found here:

There is an account by Lt. Anton Kuzmich Dragan that was published in Chuikov's "The Battle of Stalingrad" and reprinted as "A Soviet Veteran Recalls" in this book:

Chuikov ordered Lt. Dragan to defend a railroad station with c. 50 men, of whom he and 5 or 6 survived.

There is a photo of Gen. Alexander Rodimtsev said to have been taken with members of the Division at Stalingrad. Is it possible that the men (and woman ?) in the photo are Lt. Dragan and the survivors of the railroad station defence?
