Hmmm, just watched an episode of APOCALPYSE on nat-Geo- covering the 1942-43 period- incl Stalingrad, where it was commented that von Paulus & many of his 6th Army soldiers who'd surrendered at Stalingrad were embittered with hitler for not adequately supporting em, which led to their defeat, & they just wanted to go home. Now, is there any way that, instead of OTL shipping these defeated foes to Siberia, Stalin could've capitalised on such anti-Hitler sentiments by forming his own version of a German liberation army, with von paulus as its CO- thereby mirroring the Nazis' formation of RONA under Andrei Vlasov ?
