Official Films! Nazi Defeat At Stalingrad!

The heroic defense of Stalingrad. The Soviet army turning the Nazis six month assault into the most ghastly military disaster in German history. Hands held high the beaten Nazis pour from house after house in abject surrender.

Hitler's generals give up too. Twenty-four including a field marshal. Here is Lieutenant-General von Daniels commander of the veteran 376th Division. Lieutenant-General Sanne commanded Hitler's pride the crack 100th Division that smashed through Belgium and France. Berlin says that German generals never surrender. Germany's Romanian allies Brigadier General Dimitriu commander of the 20th Romanian Infantry suffers the same fate as that of his German colleagues.

Five more Axis generals who failed at the Stalingrad Hitler vowed he'd take. Lieutenant-General Schlemmer whose 14th Tank Corp helped conquer Holland. Lieutenant-General von Drebber whose 297th Infantry invaded Greece. Lieutenant-General Rinaldi Medical Chief of the 6th German Army.

Biggest catch of all Field Marshal Fredrik von Paulus Commander-and-Chief of all Axis armies at Stalingrad. Taken to headquarters of General Shumilov for questioning von Paulus has much to answer for. He is the man who ordered the extermination of every civilian in Stalingrad. Calmly quietly General Shumilov reviews von Paulus' record. This is the von Paulus who two months before threatened the families of his own soldiers with death if one man should surrender. Berlin claimed he was only captured because he was gravely wounded. Actually a young Red Army lieutenant found him hiding in the basement of a department store and brought him in without a struggle.

These also gave up. Cold, starved, emaciated, defeated Nazi soldiers. Remnants of twenty-two Nazis divisions. Now they plod towards a Russian prison.

Proudly the Red flag flies again over the heroic city of Stalingrad as endless lines of Nazis prisoners write the final chapter in the Battle of Stalingrad. Here the might of the German 6th Army met the courage of a people fighting for life and liberty.
