Fall Blau or the German summer offensive of 1942 was not actually made by Paulus. It was made by a number of German strategists, and the strategic and operational plans were actually very good. Until Hitler started meddling. He ordered that the Caucuses be attacked simultaneously with Stalingrad, which was a fatal dispersion of effort. This led to Paulus not having enough troops to take the city, but he himself made a number of tactical blunders during the Battle. Chiefly not trying to make an armored reserve, even though tanks were scarce he should have made every effort to ensure he had reserves, but he did not. Paulus was a Staff Officer, not a Field Officer. He never should have been given command of a formation, he was suited to desk work or being a Chief of Staff.
