Hard to make heroes out of soldiers betrayed into an enforced defeat by their own highest level commanders. Reminds me of Hitler making Paulus a field marshal at Stalingrad knowing that no German field marshal ever surrendered. Honoring the defeated, the betrayed, doesn't change the essence of the defeat or betrayal.
