Germans pressed by Red Army
Sunday, December 20, 1942 www.onwar.com

On the Eastern Front... The Soviets have reached nearly to Millerovo, 60 miles north east of Voroshilovgrad. The Rostov-Voronezh railway is retaken and pressure is being brought to bear on Army Detachment Hollidt, the northern wing of Manstein’s force. Manstein asks Zeitzler at OKH to arrange for a breakout by Paulus. Zietzler gives little help. Paulus pleads that he is now so short of fuel that cannot attempt the breakout.
