  Battle of Stalingrad
Army Group B included Friedrich von Paulus[?]'s 6th Army and Hoth's 4th Panzer Army, who would sweep through the corridor between the Don and Volga rivers to arrive on the Volga just north of Stalingrad (known today as Volgograd).
The strain on both commanders was immense, von Paulus developed an uncontrollable tic in his eye, and Chuikov was experiencing an outbreak of eczema that required him to bandage his hands completely.
Realizing all hope was lost, Friedrich von Paulus[?], in command of what remained of the 6th Army, started forming plans for surrender.

Having initially supported such an immediate breakout, Von Weichs failed to act and the same evening passed on an instruction from OKH that Paulus was to hold the position on the Volga at all costs and that countermeasures to restore the situation were being implemented by the Fuhrer.
Paulus rejected the order arguing that his men were too weak to make such a move and that his vehicles had insufficient fuel to reach the relieving forces.
Paulus was taken into custody and at first refused to co-operate with the Russian authorities, making no effort to negotiate a surrender for the remainder of the Army still trapped in the northern pocket.

Paulus ended his career as a police inspector in East Germany, and died in 1957.
Of Paulus, who had seen a Nazi massacre of Jews, he writes, “He’d tried ever since then never to think about the anti-Jewish measures.” The parable arises in large part from Vollmann’s restraint in describing the complex fates of the two men, allowing the larger questions to float up of their own accord.

On 21 November, Paulus proposed that his Sixth Army break out of their ever-tightening trap and withdraw toward the River Don.
Rarely a supporter of retreat, Hitler denied Paulus' proposal with a characteristically simple suggestion: "Hold on!" Hitler remained so steadfast against breaking out of the Stalingrad trap that on 21 November, he proposed that the German army instead break into the trap from the outside: Operation Winter Storm.
As part of the summer campaign by German forces in Russia, the Sixth Army under Field Marshall Friedrich von Paulus was to take Stalingrad, an industrial center and obstacle to Nazi control of the precious Caucasian oil wells.
