PauluS, commander of the beaten German Sixth
Army, was silent, saow-faced, and wore an
embittered expression along with his array of
medals Only few days before his ignominious
surrender he was elevated to the rank of field
marshal by his grateful fuehrer.
Won Paulus, II other German generals and
two Rumanian generals are confined in a small
village west of Stalingrad. He was making
hard fight to maintain his poise and dignity.
Russian General Chuikov, who is only AZ
years old and one of the youngest generals in
the Red army, told Of the events of the final
days of the German defeat and the liberation
of Stalingrad.
Chukov was interviewed in his headquar-
tiers, a dimly lit dugout, bored into a 100-foot
cliff on the bank of the broad Volga. He CON-
manded the Russian army that stormed the
center of Stalingrad, surrounded Won Pauus'
underground headquarters and forced him to
surrender with the remnants of his army.

grad is like a hideous dream. have completed

such utter desolation or such ruthless destruc-
ton
have seen the bombed areas Of London
and the unbelievable ruin of Coventry. The
Quilted remains of other Russian towns in the
wake of the German retreat fill one with horror.
But there probably has been nothing like
Stalingrad since GhengiS Khan scourged the
great cities of central Asia.
For two DAYS | toured the city and the
suburbs with Soviet army officers covering per-
haps 80 miles. Everywhere it was the same
wreckage. rubble twisted masses Of steel, the
burned-out huks Of tanks and trucks, the black,
twisted skeletons of airplanes.
In the six miles from the center of the city
to the northern factory district scarcely build
ing or dwelling is intact. The course from the
once beautiful Square Of the Heroes of the Rev
oution in the heart of the city to the once
magnificent Red October Tractor factory makes
a dismal journey.
The blackened skeletons of bombed build
ings reach into the sky like the charred columns
of trees in forest swept by disastrous hres.
