    As I wrote before, Paulus was the commanding general of the 6th army, which was trapped inside Stalingrand. What I ask is who was the general who tried to save Paulus and his army.

    If Erich von Manstein isn't correct, maybe it was Hitler?

    @Uytuun, Aconcagua

    @BOC, IIRC there never was a rescueforce, Hitler ordered Paulus into a hedgehog position and await further order, after that Hitler let the case rest.. Goering was responsible for the supply but he wasnt a general

    @Joacqin
    The assinator was named Princip, member of the Narodna Obrana (Black Hand)

    What was (from his point of view) Einsteins biggest mistake

    [​IMG] @Joacqin - Roald Amundsen of course :)

    @Morgoth - No idea, so I'll let leave that question live.

    And just clarify an earlier question, which was wrong [The question that is since it didn't have an answer]

    The footy one at the top of this page:-

    Real Madrid won the UEFA Champions League (which would therefore effectively make them UEFA club champions}.
    Galatasaray won the UEFA cup and the super cup.

    Since Real were UEFA champions so to speak, there was no correct answer. Cudos to Ara for trying though.

    When the encirclement of Stalingrad took place, the german HQ sent there Von Manstein in order to save the trapped 6th army. Manstein's army was designated as Army Group Don and it was consisted of Army Group Hoth, 3rd Romanian Army,Army Detachment Hollidt and the trapped 6th army. The attack began on December 12 under the code name "Operation Winter Tempest". The high mark of "Winter Tempest" was river Mishkava just 48 Kilometers away from Stalingrad, where the 2nd Soviet Guards Division blocked the advancing german divisions. Also, plans were made for the 6th Army to attempt a breakout to link up with the advancing armored divisions of Army Group Hoth under the codename "Thunderclap". This was supposed to begin on December 19, but Paulus chose to follow Hitler's order and stay inside the city than to attempt the breakout as Manstein ordered him to do.
