USSR 1941

  Chapter 820 Family

   "Before that, I already got in touch with him!" Akadyevich said, "You just need to tell me what to do, and then..."

Akadyevich shrugged and said: "Although this mission is dangerous, I believe that Colonel Bergman will try it, otherwise he will be put on execution ground soon as a spy! But if he succeeds , he will be a hero!"

   This is also a small fight for the big, and even once Bergman succeeds, he doesn’t need to continue taking risks as a spy, so Bergman has reason to cooperate fully.

"Comrade Akadyevich!" Not knowing whether it was curiosity or something else, Zolotarev asked: "Can I ask how you contacted Colonel Bergman? I mean, this Could there be any problems in it?"

   It is not surprising that Zolotarev would ask this question, because the communication system of the Soviet army was originally very backward. It is indeed a bit worrying to want to transmit information to Stalingrad and it is still the enemy.

"Of course!" Akadyevich replied: "I have already set up a contact post in Stalingrad. This contact post is only responsible for contacting me and ensuring that the information is delivered to Bergman. As for the details... You know, we have other spies. But don't worry, the information we passed to Bergman is encrypted, and only Colonel Bergman can understand it!"

   As the saying goes, "Ginger is hot when old", Akadyevich had already arranged everything on the way here.

   "So, Comrade Shulka!" Akadyevich turned his gaze to Shulka: "Give me an order, what do you want Colonel Bergman to do? Or let him play freely?"

   "No!" Shulka stopped: "We should make some preparations!"

   "Ready?" Akadyevich was a little puzzled, he thought he had already prepared everything that needed to be prepared.

   But soon Akadyevich knew that he was still far behind.

   "Yes!" Shulka said: "We need to know where Paulus is from, his family and other information!"

  Akadyevich couldn't help being taken aback: "What do you know about this?"

"We have to do everything possible to convince Paulus, Comrade Akadyevich!" Shulka said: "And his family, I think it will be a breakthrough, if we can know more information, which may It will be beneficial to us. In addition... if we can pass some information accurately, it will give Paulus some false impressions, thinking that our spies have mastered the situation of his family and used it to coerce!"

There was admiration in Akadyevich's eyes, and he said convincingly: "That's right, Comrade Shulka! It is indeed a very good idea. This may be our last trump card. I mean... if If Paulus doesn't agree!"

   "Wait!" Shulka said, "I'm not saying it's bad for his family..."

   "Is there a difference?" Akadyevich shrugged, and then asked the signal soldier to issue an order.

   Shulka was stunned for a while. He thought that he had done something wrong just now, because Akadyevich might really have sent spies to "monitor" Paulus's family.

Akadyevich seemed to see through Shulka's thoughts, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Comrade Shulka! We won't really harm the Paulus family, because if we even give such a hint to guarantee If Luce is also indifferent, then killing his family is meaningless, but it will strengthen Paulus' determination to resist to the end!"

  Shuerka thought it was right after thinking about it, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

  Although the war has hurt civilians, especially Germany's genocidal policy, Shulka still does not want to use this method.

   Then Akadyevich took the call back and said: "But it may take some time. Paulus is from Breitenau. It will take a few hours for our agents to arrive there!"

   A few hours is nothing to the whole task, because there are still five days before the amnesty deadline.

  However, the actual time it took was much less than estimated, because the traffic in Germany was normal, so I got a call back within two hours.

Akadyevich looked at Shulka with some incredulous eyes on the reply, and said: "They... I mean the Germans, they told Paulus's family that Paulus was dead in battle. !So his family is in grief, why is this happening?"

   Several people in the headquarters were also puzzled.

   Shulka thought for a while, and said: "Hitler knew that there was no hope of breaking out, and he wanted Paulus to commit suicide!"

   "They could have taken Paulus away by air!" Trufanov said. "Why not? I mean, even though they knew there was no hope of breaking out, the air transport kept bringing the wounded back!"

   What Trufanov said is true.

  Since the German army carried out air transportation, what was transported into Stalingrad was the supplies of the 6th Army, and when they returned, they took away batches of wounded. According to statistics, there are tens of thousands of wounded alone.

   And only one plane is needed during this period, which is enough to transport Paulus and his command out of the encirclement.

  But Hitler did not do this, which puzzled Trufanov and others.

   "Hitler needs someone to bear the blame!" Shulka said: "The 6th Army was surrounded, and even now there is no hope of breaking through and will be annihilated in the end. This is obviously the wrong command that led to this result."

   "Yes!" Akadyevich nodded: "And of course the person who made this mistake was not Hitler!"

   "So it was Paulus!" Trufanov said: "That's why Hitler didn't withdraw Paulus, and even told his family that Paulus had died in battle..."

   Several people looked at each other, and everyone realized that this was good news for the Soviet army.

  Knowing this, the probability of persuading Paulus increases exponentially.

   But of course, Shulka didn't think of sending agents to investigate the Paulus family or coerce them... those were just excuses.

  Shuerka's real intention is to expose the truth.

Historically, Hitler did declare that Paulus had died in battle before he surrendered, because this can explain to some extent the reason why the 6th Army collapsed and even surrendered... They were not brave, but because the commander died in battle and had no one to command, So of course it had nothing to do with Hitler's own mistakes.

  On the other hand, information in Germany is controlled by the Gestapo, so Hitler doesn't need to worry about "rumors" spreading.

  However, Hitler did not expect that at this time, Soviet agents would "visit" the Paulus family.
