Late at night, General Zeitzler woke Hitler and informed his Fuhrer unpleasant news: near Stalingrad, the Red Army closed the ring of encirclement, in which there were significant forces of the Wehrmacht. Zeitzler suggested that Hitler immediately withdraw the encircled units, which meant surrendering positions on the Volga.
Hitler did not even want to hear about it: his order to stand to the end, shared and Field Marshal Keitel, who proposed to quickly form and send to the aid of the encircled troops Army Group "Don" under the command of General Manstein. This Army Group was also supposed to include reserves from other parts of the front, where no major Russian offensive was foreseen.
