In the battle´s focus was the successful German attempt to break through the Soviet kettle and thus escape death and war captivity. The following article doesn´t mention a major reason for the success: The ultimate will of the encircled German troops to break free! The fighting spirit of the soldiers had previously eradicated somehow due to the leadership´s malicious plans and orders. But the wish to escape the kettle enabled them to go to the limits and beyond. Their push took place under total ignorance of losses and military habits. Everything was right and proper in order to get through. MGs were used as assault rifles in the storm*.

* Taken from the book that I am currently reading: Vorwärts Kameraden, wir müssen zurück (Forward, comrades, we have to retreat), a worth reading novel about and around a young soldier and his comrades and without political correctness or other elements that would have turned it into a propaganda tome.

"Though most of the men escaped, they had to leave nearly all of their heavy equipment behind."
