W tym czasie, gdy ważyły się losy Stalingradu, Anglik, Amerykanin i Rosjanin toczą dyskusję nad tym, jakie jest największe miasto na świecie. - Londyn, bo posiada siedem milionów mieszkańców.
- New York, bo ma dziesięć milionów.
- Stalingrad, - odpowiada Rosjanin – bo od przedmieścia idzie się ponad sto dni.
