Goring was pretty much figurehead during the war. Not on the level of Hess, but still ... all important decisions about Luftwaffe were made by Hitler with consultations of OKW and OKH. Operational decisions were made by Luftflotte commanders. All he could do was amassing his personal wealth and waiting for opportune moment to take over (and that did not come even in vanning days of the war :D )

IMHO, at that point of time debate was already too late. Option of breakout on their own would be disastrous, since as TIK mentioned many times before Germans lacked both fuel and horses, plus Soviet pincers were practically closed. Even Paulus admitted they would lose most of heavy equipment and hoped to extract experienced fighters. Since they could not breakout, and break in had to be organized, airlift was a must even if they could not get enough supplies. It was better than nothing, just like those 5 Romanian transport planes.

Remained Soviet POW until 1948. Then released to Romania, retired there and died in 1955. Probably lived on sidelines of new communist system, nothing historically important.

@sorsocksfake I agree with your assessment, but the war was most likely already lost since Germans could not get the oil, had to withdraw from Caucasus, suffered defeat at El Alamein and Torch landings have begun. Question only remained how big and fast would their defeat be.
