The page zen.yandex.ru has just published an analysis and made the latest comments related to Stalin’s refusal to exchange German Marshal Paulus for his son who was then in exile. captured by the Nazis as a prisoner of war, would like to introduce to readers.
“I would not exchange a soldier for a field marshal” – a famous sentence said to be by Stalin when his son was captured by the Germans. It is worth mentioning that this is the most popular quote in all war anecdotes. The truth is that some people are trying to turn Joseph Stalin into a man with a poisonous heart Evil does not have any father-son love.
The article is based on the latest data that is well-proven according to which Stalin’s son – Yakov Iosifovich Dzhugashvili – was not taken prisoner by the Germans! And Hitler on his part never suggested that Stalin exchange his son with Field Marshal Paulus!
German records on prisoner interrogation soldier Yakov Dzhugashvili (Stalin) did not have the signature of the person being interrogated. This is the first thing to note because it is inconsistent with German standards for interrogating particularly important prisoners of war. From there it can be assumed that he was not arrested.
There is a big difference between the interrogation records dated July 18 and 19, 1941. In the minutes of July 18, Yakov told the Germans: “… Our soldiers fought to the last possible chance… They all turned to me:” Comrade commander! Lead us to attack! I led them on the attack. The intense bombing began followed by a storm of rocket artillery… I felt alone… Your troops surrounded me on all sides… I would have shot myself if I had discovered that I was completely completely isolated from his comrades.”
On July 19, the person being interrogated said: “There was panic among the soldiers and they ran away.” . The latter said that the Red Army soldiers abandoned their weapons and the local population refused to welcome the Red Army soldiers in uniform. In such a situation Yakov Dzhugashvili (Stalin) was forced to surrender. With such inconsistencies coming out of one’s mouth it is impossible to believe.
A valid argument is the lack of voice recording of Yakov Dzhugashvili on the recorder. From this it can be argued that for the Germans this was not an unforgivable omission but eloquent proof that Yakov Dzhugashvili was not taken prisoner. Another strong argument is the lack of film of Yakov Dzhugashvili. There is no doubt that if Stalin’s son were captured, the Germans, meticulous in propaganda matters, would certainly shoot a whole film about this case.
From March to May 2002, the Criminal Forensics Center of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation examined handwriting samples of Yakov Dzhugashvili (Stalin). First of all the letter to Stalin was examined: “Dear Dad! I am a healthy prisoner of war and will soon be sent to one of the officer camps in Germany. Good communication. I wish you good health, dad. Hi everybody. Yasha” and a passage in General Milutin Stefanovich’s diary: “…the line written by Yakov himself: “Yakov Dzhugashvili Moscow Lieutenant 3 Granovsky Street, apartment number 84, September 20, 1942”.

The conclusion of the examination confirmed that the “Letter to Father” was not written by Dovugashvili Yakov Iosifovich but by another person imitating the handwriting of Stalin’s eldest son. span>
In addition to the letter, leaflets scattered by German troops at forward positions of the Soviet army in the summer of 1941 were also examined. . In the leaflet there was a picture of Stalin’s son standing among the German officers in a free position with his head tilted towards his shoulder. On another he is sitting behind a desk contented and happy among a group of Germans. The examiner’s conclusion: the photo was stitched and edited using “mirror reflection”!.
