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.
