Sorry, but we spell our family name with a silent "H" ..... Paulhus !!!! AND NO, we take NO pride in the fact that our ancestor even worked for Hitler ... but only in the fact that his surrender, after the Battle of Stalingrad was the single biggest on the Eastern front .... and in doing so, nearly causes old Adolf a complete mental "breakdown" !!!
The last comment is the sad thing, the Nazis found a lot supporters in the occupied states and anti-Semitism is very rare today in Germany, but in other countries with higher jewish population like the USA, there are quite a lot of people which think so. We think we live in a much better world and maybe laugh about the Germans or others that believed the news 70 years ago, but most of us don't know that the same thing, just more efficient happens to us too! Sry can't say it better in English.
Paulus fought like a man. Chuikov still took notes from his little trip here though. Central europeans simply can't understand winter. Zhukov and Chuikov were pros who handled the most crucial skill of warfare while the superman who spend most of his days in military schols did not.
@1Historygenius Other commanders refused hitlers orders, even Waffen-SS commanders on the eastern front (I think even one of the only two Generaloberst der Waffen-SS) Sepp Dietrich or Paul Hausser? At Charkow soon after Stalingrad at first troops pulled back (of course Hitler never allowed this), refreshed and later were able to gain full controll of Charkow (one of the biggest cities in the SU) and hold it until the whole front broke down. Rommel also had Problems with Hitler and African Corps.
@KilonBerlin Paulus thought that Hitler would support him because Hitler convinced him that he would send supplies and break out. Herman Goering was just wrong when he believed he could supply the 6th Army and as for Manstein who tried to breakthrough it was too late as the Soviets now were pushing through other armies.
@1Historygenius Thx for History but I know this ;) Hitler was ready to give the order for an breakout, but on the morning Göring arrived and said the Luftwaffe could supply the Army. But after a few days or weeks it was clear, that its impossible to supply the army. Soviets increased their anti-air guns every day, the Luftwaffe lost very much planes, this is what the People mean. Paulus had months to give the order for an breakout, but he didn't, he was a bad commander as said.
@KilonBerlin So as I said Hitler was convinced Goring could do it and thus believed him. Paulus is not bad but mediocre and he is loyal which can come in handy. Hitler did not give him permission to breakout and you always listen to the commander even if he is nuts, otherwise something worse can happen to you as time comes ahead.
@1Historygenius You think of your men, not yourself...He could have saved the 6th armee, instead he held for 2 more months for no reason and then surrendered. He murdered just as much as Hitler did in that battle. He should have allowed the breakout west.
@gettincrazywithit Given he had limited fuel and ammunition, all a break out would have done would be to send he troops out into the fields to freeze. Manstiens relief column wouldn't have helped because one Paulus move, the Soviets would have also.
@1Historygenius Its good like it happened, even for Germany, I'm no real German but live in this excellent state (compared to others). I just got new teeths for 6000€ and only paid 100€, I get methadone free every day and all other medicine too, and my mother can't work and gets money for a flat and to live monthly since she is in Germany (1981). My polish grandpa (1926 born) hates Germans, but said they were very strong fighters and Holocaust was the only good thing they did.
It's always fascinated me how an entire nation, and an entire staff of talented Generals and other Officers would give themselves over completely to a big mouthed Lance Corporal who had been nothing more than a messenger boy and go-fer during the first world war. It just shows to go ya that men can be easily manipulated and purchased with the right choice of words and emotions. Nothing's changed there. So Paulus lives in luxury while his men are worked to death in the Gulag, sickening!
@Dr1Canuckchuck First of all, hitlers's job at the front during wwi was INCREDIBLY dangerous. He lasted far longer running those errands than most men did. And communications are a sorta important thing during a war..from what i assume. Anyway, i see your point...however i dont think you are looking at things from the correct angle. EVERY German was pissed off about the treaty that was imposed upon them and wanted ANYBODY to stand strong against it. That man's name was Adolf Hitler.
@blastingcaps Yes, well, that "treaty" was made intentionally harsh to have exactly the effect that it ended up having. It wasn't just to frustrate and humiliate someone who would eventually lead Germany into a new war, it was designed to demoralize EVERY German to get them to want to fight again against what they saw as humiliating and piss them off royally. It worked.
@Dr1Canuckchuck Are you suggesting "conspiracy" Dr? I mean, are you suggesting that before the ink was dry there were forces at work busily erecting a situation that would lead to a second war between the principal powers involved?
@blastingcaps Read "Morals and Dogma" by Albert Pike, published in 1871, and then ask me that same question again. You may not be able to find an original copy, as they are rare, but I believe even the version found on the web in pdf format will provide you with a satisfactory answer to your question.

Paulus once said: "I can't help it, that i'm still alive." Tragic figure, but who should have never lead a field army.

i think Paulus did the right thing to surrender and defect. A proper gentlemen like Rommel and the July 20 plotters so stop giving him death threats.
