I came to see the house where the first interrogation of Field Marshal Paulus took place. I am telling you about my impressions
captured, namely in the early morning of January 31, 1943.
Together with Lieutenant General Ivan Andreevich Laskin, Field Marshal Paulus was taken to headquarters 64 Army, which was located in one of the single-storey residential buildings in the southern region of Stalingrad (Volgograd since 1961).
It is noteworthy that the house in which Paulus was interrogated still exists.

It is located in Volgograd at 20 Krasnoufimskaya Street it turned out that outwardly it differs little from the same houses located on this street in the neighborhood, if not for the memorable plaque with the inscription:

Judging by the well-groomed area around the house, even though the shutters were closed, it was clear that it was not abandoned and, most likely, was protected by the state. In any case, I really want to believe in it.

Unfortunately, it was not possible to find out if anyone lives there.
On one of the side walls of the house, facing the next street, someone symbolically wrote:
Glory to the soldiers of the Red Army, who successfully carried out the encirclement.
