At first Paulus refused to collaborate with the Soviets. However, after the attempted assassination of Hitler on 20 July 1944, he became a vocal critic of the Nazi regime while in Soviet captivity, joining the Soviet-sponsored National Committee for a Free Germany appealing to Germans to surrender. He later acted as a witness for the prosecution at the Nuremberg Trials. He was allowed to move to the German Democratic Republic in 1953, two years before the repatriation of the remaining German POWs. So, he held up for about 1 1/2 a years before he turned against the Nazis. He died in Germany in 1957. His soldiers weren’t so lucky - a large majority of them never returned, having died on the long march to the Gulag, or later, in the camps. en.m.wikipedia.org
