In fiction

The novel "SS General" by Sven Hassel depicts SS-Obergruppenführer Theodor Eicke, the commander of the Totenkopf Division, conducting a rather implausible inspection of the 6. Armee at Stalingrad.

The 1992 board game "Stalingrad Pocket" designed by Masahiro Yamazaki and published by The Gamers covers the fighting in Stalingrad.

Footnotes
1. Generalfeldmarschall Friedrich Paulus was the highest ranking German to be taken prisoner until the surrender in 1945 and the first German Field Marshall ever to be captured. Despite being listed as "von Paulus" in numerous sources there was no "von" in the name of Friedrich Paulus.
