Маленков замечает, что Паулюс перед репатриацией должен будет написать документ правительству ГДР своего рода обязательство...
[Сталин]....Придется подождать, и лучше, если Паулюс позднее напишет обязательство.
Is this some sort of promise of "good behavior"? Something more serious than
writing "I wil not attack Stalingrad" on a blackboard 100 times ;-)

the "obligation"
you may put it this way
yes, I believe that this is a kind of promise of good behaviour such that he will not critisize USSR, or DDR, or will not reveal the conditions of his being prisoner of war, etc.

Military inquests
Urgent action to tackle a backlog of inquests into military deaths and to prevent any repeat of the decade-long delay in the case of Diana Princess of Wales, was demanded by Mr Hughes,
Calling for a statutory limit on the time taken to open and conclude inquests, Mr Hughes said: "Will you give some sort of undertaking that in this country in the future there won't have to be a nearly 10-year delay for an inquest as important as that into the late Princess of Wales, and years for people killed in the service of their country?"
I believe "guaranty" will work just as well
