Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus was released in 1953, two years before many of the rest of the Stalingrad prisoners and became a Police Inspector in East Germany.
The fact that many officers returned to the DDR no doubt had much to do with their "re-education" while in Soviet hands. Paulus had become sympathetic to the "communist cause" by the time of his release.
