its true that Hitler destroy the 6th Army...but Goering, he said the 6 army from the air could provide good..thats why Hitler say The 6th Army must defend Stalingrad...Paulus asked Hitler to be able to break out...Hitler say NO and the 6 Army was lost...but i think Paulus have must brake out the Kessel but so he was a Covard in my eyes...Sorry my opinion

RED ARMY!

@tagaphon Yes. Von Paulus was in a no win situation....the Battle for Stalingrad was clearly lost...and with huge losses in men and equipment that could never be replaced. The Russian counter offensive did not stop until it was marching in the streets of a devastated Berlin.
-
@TheWhitehall I'm going to say, Paulus had no choice. The resistance would be absolute useless. There was nothing to change. No strategic genius could save the situation. Nobody can blame Paulus for his act. And nobody can blame the Soviet Union for such losses among POWs. Even in the peace conditions there is very complicated to cure such number of starving and frozen men.

@tagaphon Any film or book about Stalingrad cannot ignore the appalling conditions the 6th Army found its self in. They are well documented. Looking at the fate that befell the "survivors" I do not believe that the Soviets had any desire to assist the 6th Army in defeat/surrender. Von Paulus intention was probably to save as many german forces as possible ~ and of course himself.

@TheWhitehall Had any one of you, strategists even read something about the conditions of surrounded German forces? You are talking about Paulus having or not having right to surrender, but can't even imagine, how the German soldiers looked like: they were starving and freezing. The soviets couldn't save them even after they surrendered. Just try German sources!

@TheWhitehall I never said the fuhrer, I ment Manstein his superior officer ordered him out I think it was early november, he could have maybe pulled it off ?
-
@michaelwright999 The Fuhrer DID NOT ISSUE Von Paulus with a "retreat" order. He was ordered to stay and fight to the last man. By surrendering the remains of the once glorious 6th Army, approximately 8000 soldiers survived the war. The rest perished [appox 60000] in Soviet captivity. A terrible defeat from which Germany never recovered.

@TheWhitehall good cunt was a total areshole to his army. He should have broke our as ORDERD.
