Paulus at Nuremberg: Critical Witness | Testimony of the former Field Marshal | Suzdal Camp Part IV

The "Suzdal Camp 160" series continues. June 1944: Operation Bagration destroys the powerful German Army Group Centre once and for all. Thousands of prisoners are marched through the streets of Moscow. Field Marshal Paulus' personal notes on this event, and on the plot against Hitler, translated here for the first time, help understand how the former leader of 6th Army experienced his difficult reassessments before switching over to the Soviet side. At the international tribunal of Nuremberg, Paulus appears as a critical witness. He answers to such questions as "Barbarossa: war of aggression or preventive strike?", "How German POWs were treated by the Soviets?", and "Why did you keep on fighting at Stalingrad in a desperate situation?".
Full English translations of the testimony of the former field marshal.
