Fully agree. Both on the problems preventing the Italians being able to hold the Don line and the probable result if somehow they did. Think that even when Manstein was making his desperate bid to break through to Stalingrad and relieve the 6th Army the view from Berlin was to hold that line until the summer before a new offensive to drive the Soviets back further.
