When I arrived in Germany in January, 1943, there was seldom more than two columns of paid notices. Stalingrad’'s 300,000 casualties spread the obituary adver. tising from two columns to a full bage and it has seldom been less than a page in the major Berlin’ dailies ever since. Since the advertisements are comparatively expensive, about 250 marks for a single insertion, only a small proportion of the casualties are announced. A higher proportion of deaths of officers than deaths of enlisted men is a natural consequence of that high cost.
