Question: What is the name of this man, who was captured and surprised by Soviet troops in Stalingrad and whose 6th Army surrendered at the Battle of Stalingrad?

<P0-S0>  In 1941, he served first as Chief Propaganda Section General Staff (Romania's Propaganda Minister) and then as a Romanian liaison officer to the German Military Mission, meaning that he served as a German military officer during Operation Barbarossa and the Axis Invasion of the Soviet Union. <P0-S1>  Starting in 1942 Brătescu was a Romanian General Officer (at the rank of Major-General) and commanded the 1st Cavalry Division throughout the campaign against the Soviets, fighting in such engagements as Operation Barbarossa, Operation Blue, and the Battle of Stalingrad. <P0-S2> Constantin Brătescu (March 8, 1892 - April 13, 1971) was a Romanian Major-General during World War II. <P0-S3>  Following the surrender of Friedrich Paulus' 6th Army at the Battle of Stalingrad, Brătescu became a prisoner of war and was held captive from 1943 to 1948. <P0-S4>  Finally, in 1948, he was released after five years of imprisonment and subsequently retired from active service. <P0-S5>  Bratescu ultimately died twenty-three years later, in 1971, at the age of seventy-nine. <SEP> <P1-S0> Soviet troops took Paulus by surprise and captured him in Stalingrad on 31 January 1943, the same day on which he was informed of his promotion to field marshal ("Generalfeldmarschall") by Adolf Hitler. <SEP> <P2-S0> The South German Offensive is the general name of one of the final offensives of World War II in Europe. <P2-S1>  The offensive was led by the Seventh and Third armies of the United States along with the First Army of France. <P2-S2>  Soviet troops linked up with American forces in Czechoslovakia notably in the Battle of Slivice. <P2-S3>  The offensive was made by the US 6th Army Group to protect the US 12th Army Group's right flank and to prevent a German last stand in the Alps. <P2-S4>  However German resistance was much more fierce than in the north, which slowed the 6th Army Group's progress. <P2-S5>  However, by the end of April, many German divisions surrendered without a fight to the advancing American forces to avoid the inevitable destruction. <P2-S6>  The VI Corps of the Seventh Army linked up with the US Fifth Army, which fought through Italy, in the Alps as the Third Army advanced into Austria and Czechoslovakia, where it linked up with Soviet forces advancing from the east. <P2-S7>  Fighting continued a few days after the Surrender of Germany on 8 May, due to German forces fighting west to surrender to the Americans instead of the Soviets. <SEP> <P3-S0> The 7th Reserve Army was formed 28 May 1942 as part of the Stavka Reserve (RVGK). <P3-S1>  Within one month, this force had been redesignated the 62nd Army. <P3-S2>  From mid August 1942 until late January 1943, the 62nd Army, under the command of General Vasily Chuikov, fought in the Battle of Stalingrad. <P3-S3>  62nd Army conducted an epic defense of the city against repeated and desperate attacks by the German 6th Army. <P3-S4>  The Army, along with the 64th Army, was operating under the Soviet Stalingrad Front. <P3-S5>  After the German assault at Stalingrad had come to utter disaster, the 62nd Army was uniquely awarded the Order of Lenin, and granted Guards status as the 8th Guards Army.
