Thanks for the info. I think most of the survivors never made it home. The German 6th Army, under Field Marshal von Paulus lost all but about 6,000 who eventually made it back to Germany. But I think you probably know more about the Eastern Front than I.

Von Paulus’ 6th Army survivors were mostly shipped to Siberia to work as slave labor until well after the Great Patriotic War (WW2) was over. The last survivors were not repatriated by the Russians until 1955, I believe.

Neither the Russians or the Germans were very concerned about the Geneva Convention when it came to the treatment of prisoners.

Stalin himself was a cold SOB. The Germans captured his son. Hitler himself offered a prisoner swap for the son; Stalin refused and the son died in one of the Reich's POW camps before war’s end.
