If you read the EATG book, Paulus could have easily broken out of the siege at Stalingrad early on, but Hitler ordered him to stay put. Against his better judgement, Paulus did so because he felt his family was at risk if he disobeyed.

If Hitler had left the war to his generals, Germany might have won. More importantly, though, if two world wars had not curbed the population of Europe, they wouldn’t be slowly turning into Eurabia.

There has to be ramifications of such losses, but the Muslims are being invited in. The Black Death killed about half or more of Europe’s population.

In fact, I think it was Charles de Gaulle who started it all, but there is not much available on that.

Nobody says what you just said, but you are absolutely, 100% correct.

Very good book. I much enjoyed reading it.

Also essential reading for anyone interested in the battle is Antony Beevor's Stalingrad.

You’re right; he COULD have gotten out early on. It was a shameful waste of an army to lose them like that.

General Manstein knew how to fight the Soviet masses much better; I believe he was sacked for withdrawing against Hitler’s orders. His strategy of giving ground, then crushing the Soviets as they filled the vacuum, was brilliant.
