antarmike Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) World War II: German General, Friedrich von Paulus, Commander in Chief of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad, requests permission from Adolf Hitler to surrender his position there, but Hitler refuses. The Germans are totally surrounded and have no airfield, this having been captured by the Russians on the 21st, so Aerial resupply has ended. The siege approaches its climax.

Tony B Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Didn't Hitler promote Von Paulus to Feild Marshall as no German FM had ever surrendered and he was expected to commit suicide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
