Glantz says that there is solid evidence supporting the idea that Mars was supposed to be the main Soviet offensive at that time. Reason: the Soviet forces committed to Mars were stronger then the forces committed to the Stalingrad counter-offensive.

The Russians were lucky to have over 700K men and 1400 tanks to commit to a diversion if that was what Mars was.

Contrast that with the US and England who had a General (Patton), radios and inflatables to divert the Germans at Calais.
