Stalin's Son

Yákov Dzhugashvili was the first son of USSR leader Iósif Stalin. During the World War II, he enlisted in the red army, serving as a lieutenant. However, he was arrested by the germans at the begining of the war. Stalin always said that there were not russian prisioners, but only traitors. So, when the germans asked to negociate with the nazi general Von Paulus in exchange to Yákov, Stalin answered that he would never "trade a general for a simple lieutenant". 

Yákov died few months later, supposedly by suicide. And you thought you had issues with your daddy!
