Hmmm, I'm trying to track down a sensible source that says that the Stalingrad Madonna's original is in the memorial church and copies are in Berlin, Volgograd and Coventry Cathedrals - I can't find anything other than the Kaiser Willhelm Memorial Church site - even the citations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalingrad_Madonna site, I've checked - the Perry article doesn't mention Coventry... Think I'm OK saying 'there are copies of the Madonna in Berlin and Volgograd' without citing?
