In the Classic “Hitler’s moves East, the author Carrell refers to him as Paulus, not Von Paulus.

Yes, the better historians, documentary makers etc. know to drop the “von”.

I saw a TV documentary not too long ago in which the guy introducing it, made a point to say that the documentary incorrectly called the General, Von Paulus. Otherwise he said it was pretty good.
