    Looks like my original source was antony beevors book ‘stalingrad’, but the wikipedia page on decimation has a lot of discussion about the veracity of it, and it no longer appears on the main page

      Ah, yeah, that makes sense. Beevor seems willing to take at face value quite a lot of stories that kinda, let’s say, strain credulity.
