Default Re: What if the German armies in Stalingrad attempted to break out?

Well first of all Hitler wasn't going to allow it. He wasn't going to stand for defeat again after Moscow the previous winter.

Second Paulus wasn't going to authorize a breakout without direct orders from Hitler.

Third, most were waiting to be rescued by Manstein and Hoth.

Finally, I doubt many of the landsers were in shape for a break out.
