Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus. He stated this because of Hitler's expectation that he commit suicide rather than surrender his army at Stalingrad. Hitler had promated Paulus to Field Marshal because no German Feild Marshall had ever surrenderd his army and Hitler hoped he would continue the tradition.
