Talk:Friedrich Paulus

Bohemian Corporal (continued)
The 'Bohemian Corporal' jibe can be traced back to President Hindenburg, when he was first being asked to take Hitler seriously in the 1920's. 'Bohemian' carried a suggestion of a provincial farmboy, and he was pretending to confuse the name of Hitler's birthplace, Braunau on the Austro-Bavarian frontier, with another Braunau in Bohemia. It could well be that 'Bohemian Corporal' became a sneering term among the Fuhrer's later enemies. Valetude (talk) 16:00, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Interwar Years
Does anyone have an idea if Paulus after the Armistice was assigned at the POW Camp of Merseburg? Bootkinero (talk) 01:55, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Erroneous "von"
This guy is often referred to as "Friedrich von Paulus" and many people have assumed him to have been titled nobility, evem today. I notice at the German Wiki that in 1912 he married a Romanian noble girl - is that where he began styling himself as "von Paulus"? 188.150.64.57 (talk) 12:42, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
