With General Hoth 4th Panzer Army trying to battle it's way through the Soviet 2nd Guards Army in Operation Winter Storm, could the Sixth Army had tried Operation Thunderclap and broken out of the Kessel.
The Sixth Army was suffering from shortages of food for the infantry and fuel for the few tanks that were left in the Kessel but if the Fuhrer had finally let Paulus attempt the breakout in Operation Thunderclap could it have succeded and linked up with Mansteins Army Group Don?
