Field Marshall von Paulus's Romanian Wife

[Führerul]

Heard a strange rumour that Von Paulus..the unfortunate Commander at Stalingrad was married to a Romanian Woman. Is this true? Who has more information?

About Paulus I know that after spending so many years in Russian captivity he eventually became sympathetic to communism ( :cry: they 're-educated' him)...and he eventually returned to Communist East Germany many years after the war where he died.
Strangely he is burried on the other side of Germany now, in the south west, in a little town close to the Swiss Border.
The most unfortunate General in history who lost his entire army. :cry: :cry:

Technically he was a marshall. There are many contestants to the title of "most unfortunate". Publius Quinctilius Varus is my favorite.

Some also question the 'von' in his name. I am not an expert, so I don't know the right answer.

Neither one of you answered the question regarding Frau Paulus, who was she, where she was from, and what became of her..

[inahurry]

I heard the same thing, that she was born in Romania. Don't know anything else.

[C-2]

I read also something about being born in Rom.but of German nationality.

I know that Paulus had a "Romanian" wife... I do not remember her name, but she was part odf the Romanian aristocracy. It was very possible that she had phanariot origins.

[C-2]

In 1912 F.V.P married Elena Rosseti Solescu,sister of a regiment comrade.
They had 3 children.
All I had to do was to ask my mother....

[Geto-Dacul]

Rosseti... Aha... So I was right; she was of phanariot origin. :wink:

[C-2]

So am I !
And that's the way my wife calls me when she's angry.....

Calls you how, "phanariot" ? Of course, if it's not very hush-hush internal affairs topic.

That's not true that I call everyone phanariot! But it is clear that names like Rosseti, Caragea or Mavrogheni are of phanariot and venetic origin.

Come on... Do not judge when you don't know. :wink:

Actually there were members of the Rosseti family that were very patriotic and loved their country. Just because they were not initially of Romanian blood (btw, neither were the first voivodes and domni :wink: ), does not mean they could not have become more Romanian than many others "escus".

Caudiu is of German descent, among others, but I am not sure that from his mother's side.

Yes ,my Mother is an Istorian,but of anciant history...
She's related among others to the Mavrocordat family.
We do not mention this much because....they were Fanariots....
More interesting is that I found lately that I'm related to a Italian General,Romulo Zorio,who fought in Abisinia before and during WW2 .As we all know without succes.
