It was given by the last men of general Strecker's XI 'Corps' who were still trapped in the Tractor Factory on February 2nd-3rd 1943:

"Is anyone there? There are just a few of us in here. We haven't eaten for days and I've shot my last pistol-cartridge. In any second, the Bolshevists will arrive by the hundreds and slaughter us all. Just tell my father that I carried out my duty and that I served faithfully our Führer and Germany. Long live Germany! Heil Hitler!"

The message was retransmited by all radio stations in the subsequent days (and even if it sounds rare, it wasn't just propaganda!)
