Stubborn Nazi
General Now
Gives Up Hopes

MOSCOW, Aug. IA. (UP) - Field
Marshal Friedrich Won Paulus,
Germany's hero of Stalingrad" and
the highest ranking military leader
to fall into Russian hands, ended
18 months of Sullen silence with a
dramatic admission that the Reich
has lost the war. and joined with
l9 other NaZi officers Monday in
an appeal to the Wehrmacht to
overthrow Adolf Hitler and lay
down their arms.
Won Paulus had stubbornly re-
fused to abandon hope in German
victory since February, 1943, when
he and 81 other generals were cap
tured with the remnants of the
Nazi 9th army in ruined Stain
grad. His unexpected about-face
threatened to have far-reaching ef-
fects in the already-shaken Wehr-
macht.
The Nazi field marshal was taken
prisoner in his headquarters in the
cellar of Stalingrad department
store at the end of that disastrous
campaign that cost the German
army more than 100000 lives and
turned the tide of the war.
Correspondents who witnessed his
surrender reported that the field
marshal was extremely sullen and
hostile and refused to answer even
the most formal questions put to
him by his Soviet captors.
His top aides including Gen. Wal
ter Won Seydlitz who became presi-
dent of the Soviet-sponsored union
of free German officers, conceded
almost Immediately that the game
was up and began broadcaSting
peace appeals to their former COM
radeS.
Until Monday announcement,
however, Won Paulus had been re-
garded as the most stubborn and
intransigeant of all the captured
German leaders.
