What happened to Friedrich Paulus’s wife and children after the surrender at Stalingrad? When Paulus turned against Hitler from Soviet captivity, the Nazi regime retaliated against the family it could still reach. In this video, we follow Coca Paulus, their daughter Olga, and their twin sons through Gestapo arrest, Sippenhaft imprisonment, wartime loss, and the long aftermath of Stalingrad.
