Between December, 1942 and February, 1943, the newspaper inches its readers along, the reports become gradually more and more desperate. At the same time, the strategic soundness of abandoning Sixth Army, along with the themes of heroism and sacrifice, are elevated to the point where, the authors claim, these considerations far outweigh any loss of life and material.
Of course, anyone who looked at a map could see otherwise. And I imagine many Germans saw here writing of a different kind--the writing on the wall that heralded the inevitable defeat of Germany.

You'd have to imagine the older Germans that were fans of Bismarck hated the idea of invading Russia.
I'd would have been really interesting to see what their prospective on both wars.
The fog of war was much thicker back then though. It's not like they bombed London and 10 minutes later the world knew. However people throughout history always seemed to know which way the wind blew
