 | A very good question Lee ,Possibly is the answer , Paulus did have a couple of chances to encircle the majority of the withdrawing Russians in the Don Steppe prior to them withdrawing into the City but was too cautious to take them !! Particulary after the 48 Panzer Korps had unlocked the door into the South of the City Paulus delayed sending 6th Army units south to link up with them which could have trapped 40,000 Russians in the steppe. In the first few days of the fighting in the City those 40,000 were vital !!
