One thing that has not raised its ugly head and that Paulus lied to Manstein on the level of mobility, this was to downplay the 6th Army and part of 4th Panzer Army's effectiveness to effect a breakout. But had Paulus had gotten an order to evacuate after a lucid moment by Hitler, who orders the withdrawal of Stalingrad then the 6th Army and 4th Panzer Army (Part) would have succeeded in breaking out.

Just my 2cents worth.
Everything I've read,says Paulus horded gasoline exclusively for the "word" to breakout that never came. I'd like to hear more about this "lieing" to Manstein.
