@@samfisher2306, no one asked you to like them. But not everybody within the German Reich thought of himself a devotee to the NSGWP, rather to Hitler, which was at that time common because of the propaganda and the tricks he used to let the people think they had it much better than in the times of the late Weimar Republic. Most of the people didn't believe their cause was evil, they perceived it as righteous and just, so why abandon it? Of course many found out about the cruel and horrendous acts the Nazis committed when the war ended, but before that, it was unheard of.
For the lives he cost on both sides fighting an illegal and immoral war of aggression I'd say club him with that nightstick before he even walked into the room.
Ich verstehe das dir dein opa am Herzen liegt. Meiner liegt mir ebenfalls am Herzen aber das dritte Reich war urböse, so viele tote menschen, ganz zu schweigen von der Ostftont, mein Opa war teil der Roten Armee und hat von Stalingrad zu Kursk bis Berlin gekämpft und ich bin ihm Dankbar das er und seine genossen damals gewonnen haben!
He was a murderer. His work directly cost the lives of millions and allowed the Einsatzgruppen to kill many millions more. Have no pity on a filthy murdering Nazi thug.
@Doug B What are you complaining about ? The Soviets were the closest allies of the US then. Have a look at the documents from the parade in Moscow in 1945, when Eisenhower was standing side by side with Josef Stalin on the Cremlin Wall.
He was a politician wearing a uniform. All militaries are full of officers and NCOs who are there not for the mission but for themselves and will sacrifice others for their own personal advancement. I witnessed it numerous times during my 20 plus years of service.
Clint Rockfist you mean the invasion of the UK and the US ? Right seems I missed that in history. And let’s not forget it was France and England who declared war on Germany and not the other way round, and it was France attacking and crossing the German boarder in 1939 and not the other way round.
@@michaelraller4471 France and Britain declared war on Germany because of the Defensive Alliance that they had signed with the Polish. This alliance was essentially useless, as the British and French had no real intention of invading the Germans while they were attacking the Poles. As to the french crossing the border into Germany that was a half hearted attempt to assist Poland, which was then under invasion, by attacking Germany's understrength western front. But a quick victory in Poland allowed German troops to reinforce the western front and French forces eventually withdrew amid a German counter-offensive. That then paved the way for Hitler to invade France and the low countries including many neutral countries.
The minor difference is that most soviet veterans do not deny that they did evil deeds. They say:"Being better in a sport gets victory"-and they needed it too badly. The losers however not only deny, justify their horrors - but they continue doing it as we speak - in slightly different format, but same spirit, principle and aims. Respect exceptions.
Not realy. The man was a highly skilled general. First he overcame an enemy that outnumbered him. Destroyed with his 1 army 3 soviet ones befor even crossing the Don. After that he establish the first positions on the volga (not general Hoth that had a way easier starting position in the south). His army repulsed countless huge soviet offensives in the Kotlaban region with just minor loses and then conquered nearly the entirety of Stalingrad with insufficient (and from the OHK neglected) forces. And i know what you meant. 'But he got encircled'. Yes and he knew a month before it started what was coming. He told the OHK that they need to strengthen his northern and southern flanks. But not only didnt they bring in reserves that were clearly there they also forbid him to stop assaulting Stalingrad or even to pull the 14th Tank corps (a mobile unit conducting a static defensive battle) out of the line to form his own local reserve. To blame Paulus for this defeat is in my opinion highly unfair

Reichenau was a war criminal who shot women and kids. He died early but his criminal orders and actions would haunt the 6th Army which was annihilated at Stalingrad with loss of 300,000 men.
Paulus was one of the greatest Generals of the Wehrmacht - he advanced distances which no other German General did. It was his fate to reach Stalingrad and lock in that life and death struggle with the Soviets and lose. And he was not a war criminal like Von Manstien and others.

This guy is a shame for any soldier and in particular for German military tradition. He failed terribly as a commander to fulfill his tasks and duty , he didn’t obey his orders and with his surrender he sent 90.000 German soldiers into Russian labor camps of which only 6000 should return home many years later. Moreover, from being a loser he turned into being a traitor and immediately started to work for the Soviet communist regime against his own soldiers. And such a guy is presented by the tribunal as a witness. That says it all.
Didn't the US fight against the Nazi army as well ? So what are you complaining about ? Wasn't Stalin America's best ally as long as he did all the dirty jobs ? Have a look at the documents !
Attaquer le plus grand pays du monde c’était partie perdue ... Allez ravitailler vos troupes à près de 3000 kms dans de pareilles conditions et on en parlera après. Respect au feld-maréchal et à son état-major !
Post-scriptum : Hitler était un si mauvais stratège (Ok, la providence était avec lui...) que les Alliés ont jugé bon de le garder à la tête de ses armées. Ils avaient prévu de l’éliminer pourtant au Berghof avec le SOE mais finalement se sont résignés à l’éliminer.
Gentlemen, I believe that there is certainly some evidence that Von Manstein (the strategic genius) was well aware that the German position in Stalingrad was untenable and that a breakout should have been ordered and much sooner, yet he deferred to Hitler. Von Manstein spent the rest of his life trying to shift 100% of the blame for the debacle onto Paulus. Paulus only surrendered after the remaining half of his army was starving and out of ammunition. My opinion is that all of them (the German High Command) were criminally responsible for following Nazi Party orders. I also believe that the German military could not rid itself of Hitler for the simple fact that he was their front man and they needed him. That is why Eisenhower stated that the German General Staff needed to be destroyed. The attempt on Hitler’s life was only after it had become obvious that the war was lost and was attempted by lower ranking officers, not the top dogs.
All other things aside, I think it was disgraceful on his part to turn around, join the Soviets, and then spend the rest of his life in the former DDR with livings standards far above those of the average East German citizen. You can loose an army but at least retain your personal dignity. He let go of that too.
maybe he just was fed up of everything, he lost the biggest battle in history EVER, he was not a nazi and had to carry out all those horrific orders, i think he was a broken man
ellin67 not to mention they literally abandoned him and the 6th Army, wouldn’t let them breakout when they wanted to, couldn’t supply them when they needed it, and expected him to fight to the death? Hell no.
His name should have been changed to Friedrice Paulus then sent to Thailand after the war to run a massage business instead of becoming a civil servant.
Das sagt sich so leicht, man war ja nicht dabei. Verloren hätte Deutschland den Krieg sowieso. Es war Wahnsinn den Krieg gegen die Sowjetunion anzufangen, was daraus geworden ist, zeigt uns die Geschichte
@@ПиероВессел A big factor in why so few men of Sixth Army returned home is because of the terrible condition these soldiers were in at the time of surrender. Suffering from starvation/malnutrition, dysentery, jaundice, frostbite, pneumonia, septicemia, many of these men were experiencing failure of internal organs as they marched into captivity. The kind of care needed for a recovery simply did not exist within the Gulag system.
not true. he saved people, at least some of them survived. in that situation and the supply situation, they could not advance to meet the Goth. the real traitor is the smiling fat man in the dock who promised Paulus an air bridge, and in the end, as always, his words fell out of line with the case.
@@doganozgur fight to the death? hmm combat-ready units at the time of surrender were very few, in the main it was an armed crowd of desperate people with one thought: that all this is over as soon as possible. read the memories of the survivors. it clearly describes the situation and, most importantly, the morale of the soldiers of the army of Paulus.
Yes a shame for any soldier . A loser and a traitor who sent 90.000 German soldiers into Soviet Labour camps of which 10 years later only 6000 should return

@@ABc-mx5pu well considering most of the soldiers under his command that surrendered alongside him did in fact die in Russian labor camps or on the way to these camps while he himself lived the rest of his days serving the ussr in relative comfort compared to other Germans under Soviet occupation it’s not a stretch to say he betrayed his men
What about the trial for the war criminals that bombed Dresden, Hamburg, Essen, Frankfurt, Leipzig, etc?. The attack to England by Luftwaffe was peanut compared to this
It best he died in the war. Like Model, Von Kluge and himself he would have met death at the end of a rope if captured afterwards. Thoroughly disgraceful for a professional soldier.
@@MouldMadeMind when people call him a traitor they’re typically referring to the fact that all but 6,000 of the men who surrendered alongside him died in or on the way to labor camps in the ussr while he walked away with a nice job working for the Russians and later their puppet government in East Germany.

Maréchal Paulus 👌👌👌
This guy is a shame for any soldier and in particular for German military tradition. He failed terribly as a commander to fulfill his tasks and duty , he didn’t obey his orders and with his surrender he sent 90.000 German soldiers into Russian labor camps of which only 6000 should return home many years later. Moreover, from being a loser he turned into being a traitor and immediately started to work for the Soviet communist regime against his own soldiers. And such a guy is presented by the tribunal as a witness. That says it all.
He was a smart guy

Didn't the US fight against the Nazi army as well ? So what are you complaining about ? Wasn't Stalin America's best ally as long as he did all the dirty jobs ? Have a look at the documents !

Enfin un jugement sensé. Ca fait plaisir.Merci
Post-scriptum : Hitler était un si mauvais stratège (Ok, la providence était avec lui...) que les Alliés ont jugé bon de le garder à la tête de ses armées. Ils avaient prévu de l’éliminer pourtant au Berghof avec le SOE mais finalement se sont résignés à l’éliminer.

Stalingrad......
In life nothing is written on a piece of paper in how people would react ir say after the fact
Paulus : about to speak
GOERING : 01:07 inquièt , anxious
What did you expect?
He did not breakout to Hoth. He failed.
Akula971 no his orders actually were to move towards Hoth and the reunite with his troops to form a corridor. He just failed terribly as a commander
Maybe he came to his senses ?
Gentlemen,
I believe that there is certainly some evidence that Von Manstein (the strategic genius) was well aware that the German position in Stalingrad was untenable and that a breakout should have been ordered and much sooner, yet he deferred to Hitler. Von Manstein spent the rest of his life trying to shift 100% of the blame for the debacle onto Paulus. Paulus only surrendered after the remaining half of his army was starving and out of ammunition. My opinion is that all of them (the German High Command) were criminally responsible for following Nazi Party orders. I also believe that the German military could not rid itself of Hitler for the simple fact that he was their front man and they needed him. That is why Eisenhower stated that the German General Staff needed to be destroyed. The attempt on Hitler’s life was only after it had become obvious that the war was lost and was attempted by lower ranking officers, not the top dogs.
Paulus was a good soldier you bastard!
When you have 7 Soviet armies encircling you and you have limited ammunition and fuel supplies, breaking out is not an option.
All other things aside, I think it was disgraceful on his part to turn around, join the Soviets, and then spend the rest of his life in the former DDR with livings standards far above those of the average East German citizen. You can loose an army but at least retain your personal dignity. He let go of that too.
ellin67 ap Indeed a shameful loser, liar and traitor to the end.
maybe he just was fed up of everything, he lost the biggest battle in history EVER, he was not a nazi and had to carry out all those horrific orders, i think he was a broken man
ellin67 not to mention they literally abandoned him and the 6th Army, wouldn’t let them breakout when they wanted to, couldn’t supply them when they needed it, and expected him to fight to the death? Hell no.
@@mrbreeze40 Absolutely.
Were you there? No!
Quantos anos ele pegou de cadeia ?
Ele não estava la como criminoso e dim como um testemunha. Ele morreu na sua casa em Dresden.

Paulus der Feigling und Wendehals!!!!
er hätte ausbrechen sollen nov 1942
Das sagt sich so leicht, man war ja nicht dabei. Verloren hätte Deutschland den Krieg sowieso. Es war Wahnsinn den Krieg gegen die Sowjetunion anzufangen, was daraus geworden ist, zeigt uns die Geschichte
A magnificent man.

He betrayed his men
He was at the end...no options other than death.
Bruh, he disobeyed orders and surrendered so his men could have a chance at surviving, rather than fighting to the last man as he was told to do.
@@ПиероВессел A big factor in why so few men of Sixth Army returned home is because of the terrible condition these soldiers were in at the time of surrender. Suffering from starvation/malnutrition, dysentery, jaundice, frostbite, pneumonia, septicemia, many of these men were experiencing failure of internal organs as they marched into captivity. The kind of care needed for a recovery simply did not exist within the Gulag system.
Perhaps they should't have attacked the mighty Russians.
I bet you were not among them. I admit-just my guess!
Biggest traitor for all germany...
biggest traitor to germany, was the nazi party
not true. he saved people, at least some of them survived. in that situation and the supply situation, they could not advance to meet the Goth. the real traitor is the smiling fat man in the dock who promised Paulus an air bridge, and in the end, as always, his words fell out of line with the case.
@@doganozgur fight to the death? hmm combat-ready units at the time of surrender were very few, in the main it was an armed crowd of desperate people with one thought: that all this is over as soon as possible. read the memories of the survivors. it clearly describes the situation and, most importantly, the morale of the soldiers of the army of Paulus.
Yes a shame for any soldier . A loser and a traitor who sent 90.000 German soldiers into Soviet Labour camps of which 10 years later only 6000 should return

It best he died in the war. Like Model, Von Kluge and himself he would have met death at the end of a rope if captured afterwards. Thoroughly disgraceful for a professional soldier.
He said that german generals are expecting him to commit a suicide. No. Never do that.
