I can tell you something that most people do not know about the Sixth Army. I actually had a relative, a younger brother to my great-grandfather that was with the Sixth Army that was captured in Stalingrad and never came home.
Some people actually feel sorry for the German Sixth Army because of Stalingrad, but they often do not know the Sixth Army history. They only know one segment of when Paulus was commander and being surrounded by the Red-Army.
Before Friedrich Paulusthere was Walter von Reichenau who commanded the Sixth Army who issued the “Reichenau-Befehl” or Severity Order
on 10. October 1941.
Der Soldat ist im Ostraum nicht nur ein Kämpfer nach den Regeln der Kriegskunst, sondern auch Träger einer unerbittlichen völkischen Idee und der Rächer für alle Bestialitäten, die deutschem und artverwandtem Volkstum zugefügt wurden. Deshalb muß der Soldat für die Notwendigkeit der harten, aber gerechten Sühne am jüdischen Untermenschentum volles Verständnis haben. Sie hat den weiteren Zweck, Erhebungen im Rücken der Wehrmacht, die erfahrungsgemäß stets von Juden angezettelt wurden, im Keime zu ersticken.

The
United States has decided: with 306 electoral votes, Joe Biden is
officially the 46th U.S. president. Biden’s victory has been considered a
turning point for a number of policy issues, from the tackling of the
COVID-19 pandemic to racial injustice, and it raises important questions
about the future of the U.S. foreign policy. In the face of four years
of isolationism where the U.S. found itself during Trump’s presidency,
Biden’s geopolitical strategy promises to be more internationalist, with
a greater consideration for multilateral agreements and international
organizations. A greater focus on climate, environment and NATO is
expected. In this context, the recovery of relations with the old
continent will certainly be one of the foreign policy priorities. As for
relations with China, the main dossiers will probably concern human
rights, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The president-elect may also be willing to
defuse tensions with Iran, reducing the sanctions against Tehran and
reviving the nuclear deal.
