I was wondering if soldiers are able to surrender?

It would add somthing if soldiers surrender against your will. Like General Paulus did in Stalingrad against the order of Hitler to fight till the end.

From a gameplay perspective, there;s no difference between a division that surrenders or gets killed to a man. They're wiped from the map.

Would be cool for flavour though. "our brave soldiers captured 100,000 enemy soldiers" sounds a lot better than "our brave soldiers massacred 100,000 enemy soldiers in cold blood"

But Paulus basically did what Hitler say. He basically fought until his whole army was 99% destroyed, only then he surrendered.

It doesn't say either. When a division that has no line of retreat is destroyed because it has no more ORG you can assume all the remaining forces are POWs even though the game doesn't differentiate between POW, WIA and KIA you can assume the majority of casualties are the first two.
