A biography of the Field-Marshal who led the German Sixth Army during the Battle of Stalingrad. Görlitz used the Paulus' notes, correspondence and documents provided by the Paulus family after the Field Marshall died to provide a deep in-depth look at the life of Paulus. Paulus and the Sixth Army surrendered to the Russians, after some of the worst fighting on the entire Eastern Front in the freezing snow having been let down by Hitler. Paulus himself was not released from captivity until 1953, he died in 1957. |
