From military@cbnews.att.com (Bill Thacker) Sunday, 31 January, 1943 Soviet troops reach the headquarters of Field-Marshal Paulus and demand his surrender. Paulus assents, but resistance elsewhere in the pocket continues. Hitler is outraged and vows to appoint no more field-marshals. American B-24 bombers strike at Messina, Sicily, hitting the ferry terminal there. Among the casualties is the Archibishop of Reggio. Hitler appoints Admiral Karl Doenitz Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy. General Ambrosio replaces Marshal Cavallero, who resigns as Italy's Chief of General Staff. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Bill Thacker military@att.att.com Send submissions for "50 Years Ago" to military@cbnews.att.com "Paulus did an about-face on the threshold of immortality." - Adolf Hitler
