Friedrich Paulus
Friedrich Paulus was a German field marshal during World War II, notably known for his command during the Battle of Stalingrad. Captured by Soviet forces in 1943, he became a symbol of the German defeat on the Eastern Front. His experiences in captivity and the subsequent treatment of returning Soviet soldiers were reflective of the brutal realities of the war and the harsh policies of Stalin's regime.
