General Heinz Guderian
December 1941
I could not sleep well for the past few weeks. The situation here is grave.
December 5th was the first time in this war that I gave the order for the advance units to withdraw and go into the defensive. Our flanks were exposed and the troops were immobile in this god-forsaken weather. Worse of all things, our attack was unsupported. I gave the orders and we withdrew to the general line of Upper Don-Shat-Upa.
Those ***German Vulgarities*** at the OKH and OKW, have totally no idea what’s going on up in the front. They keep sending us ridiculous orders and ignore all our requests and suggestions. Our attack on Moscow has come to a complete halt. All the sacrifices and endurance of our brave troops are in vain…
