Bohemian Corporal (continued)

The 'Bohemian Corporal' jibe can be traced back to President Hindenburg, when he was first being asked to take Hitler seriously in the 1920's. 'Bohemian' carried a suggestion of a provincial farmboy, and he was pretending to confuse the name of Hitler's birthplace, Braunau on the Austro-Bavarian frontier, with another Braunau in Bohemia. It could well be that 'Bohemian Corporal' became a sneering term among the Fuhrer's later enemies. Valetude (talk) 16:00, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Interwar Years

Does anyone have an idea if Paulus after the Armistice was assigned at the POW Camp of Merseburg? Bootkinero (talk) 01:55, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Erroneous "von"

This guy is often referred to as "Friedrich von Paulus" and many people have assumed him to have been titled nobility, evem today. I notice at the German Wiki that in 1912 he married a Romanian noble girl - is that where he began styling himself as "von Paulus"? 188.150.64.57 (talk) 12:42, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
