How do you “pin down” 15,000 troops?

are you saying von Paulus' 6th Army wasn't surrounded at Stalingrad?

somehow, 265,000 troops got "pinned down" ...

These guys aren’t at Stalingrad. And the Wehrmacht was surrounded, not pinned down. There is a specific meaning to being “pinned down”.:Military terms and tactics are way above your head, obviously. You should get out more. There’s a nice tea shop down the street from your cubicle at the defense bureau there nearby you in Kyiv.
