    Did you mean he was promoted Field Marshal IN 1943 or BY 1943?

    Was it von Richthofen received in Feb 43? (although I think Mahross got it- I don't think Paulus received his batton

    Mahross' turn.

    Field marshal Friedrich Paulus [he was not a Von], promoted field marshal in January 1943 and captured little later (he never received a marshal's batton or insignia).

    Capt. Ernst Paulus was severely wounded at the II Battle of Khárkov in April 1942 and was dismissed from the Army.

    I Lt. Friedrich Paulus was killed in action at Anzio in early 1944.

    His father, whilst in Russian captivity, heard of his death and decided to support the anti-nazi movement of German captured officers, under general Walther von Seydlitz-Kurzbach. After this, Ernst Paulus and his mother, Elena Paulus (former Elena Rosetti-Solescu) were ordered to change their surname. Both refused and Ernst was arrested and sent to a concentration camp. Elena remained at home, closely watched and morally destroyed. She died in 1949.

    FM Paulus didn't go back to Germany until 1954, where he knew about the death of his wife and eldest son. He died alone and depressed in Dresden in 1957, aged 67.

    Right here we are then

    Which agent, run by the briths intelligence services, notified the british of the location of 10 panzer division at amiens just before the raid on dieppe?

    this led to the change of the operation from a 2 tide to a 1 tide operation.

    Gordon, nope. Look at the hint. As someone with an interest in medieval history i should hope you get it.
