From first hand German accounts they had to be forced to do so only after running out of ammo, and then even after that would often play dead and suicide with a grenade when opposing soldiers got close. See the battle of Brest Litovsk for example.
You're also comparing encircled troops in WW2 to troops on a relatively static front line.
