    Who was or were the only German Field Marshals to surrender during World War II?

    Question #119487. Asked by matthewpokemon. (Dec 21 10 1:00 AM)

    Friedrich Paulus

    "Paulus surrendered to Soviet forces in Stalingrad on 31 January 1943, a day after he was promoted to the rank of Generalfeldmarschall by Adolf Hitler."

    One big deal about Paulus was that he was, according to Hitler, supposed to commit suicide after surrendering, but Paulus became a prisoner of the Soviets and worked against the Nazis as part of a National Committee to Free Germany. Paulus was freed from prison in 1953.

    Even more interesting is that Hitler in fury said he would never appoint another Field Marshall. He appointed seven more in fact.
