If interested, William Craig's Enemy at the Gates is an excellent read. Craig spent considerable time researching the book, interviewing survivors on all sides shortly after the war ended.
Ignore the movie its hokum and dramatized for the Hollywood crowd. Also the movie is only a few pages in a couple of chapters in a book of almost 500pp.
Craig did an excellent job, interviewing and researching for this book. However, following the war it was easier to access those in the West than it was those in the East. So, he missed out slightly on the intimate Russian perspective that he was able to capture with the Germans.

Great book. It was one of the first books I read on Stalingrad when I was a kid.
