不過講到頂撞希特拉
最出名係呢單
The Germans still held the city but Soviet inroads had been made. Grossdeutschland held the west, Das Reich the north, a reinforced Panzergrenadier regiment of Leibstandarte held the east and the 320th Division holding the southeast.
Hitler had ordered that Kharkov is to be held. (Paul) Hausser, commander of SS-Panzerkorps feared the troops in Kharkov would be cut off, he contacted Lanz’s HQ to ask to evacuate on the afternoon of 14 February, after he heard no reply he ordered the evacuation himself at 1645 hours. Lanz contacted Hausser at 1725 and reiterated the Führers orders to hold the city, he repeated the orders on the telephone again at 1800. Hausser changed his mine and vowed to hold the city to the last man.
On the Morning of 15 February the Soviets launched their final assault on Kharkov. Units flooded into the city, and by midday the southwest corridor out of Kharkov had shrunk down to a mile or so wide. Despite Hitler’s directive and Lanz’s orders element of the SS-Panzerkorps started to vacate the city, the first to withdraw were Das Reich from the northern suburbs. The Soviet 69th Army soon filled the void. SS Panzergrenadiers were soon engaged in heavy street fighting in the east of city, engaging the 15th Tank Corps and the 160th Rifle Division. Hausser not wishing to lose his troops ordered the withdrawal of the Divisions from Kharkov at 1300 hours before the corridor could close. The Soviets continued to advance into Kharkov on 16 February and by noon they were back in complete control of their city.
The Germans had lost Kharkov for the first time, but not the last. Despite the fact that Hausser had disobeyed orders and Hitler’s wishes he held his position as commander of the SS-Panzerkorps, but a scapegoat was found. Lanz lost his command to General der Panzertruppen Werner Kempf.

The instance infuriated Hitler who refused to award Hausser after the battle. After this withdrawal, the II SS Panzer Korps (now reinforced with the Totenkopf division) was attached to Manstein's counter-thrust, which destroyed the Soviet spearheads and saved Army Group South. The SS completed this victory when the Leibstandarte retook Kharkov, for which Hitler renamed the central square "Leibstandarteplatze" in honour of the victory. The battle is often regarded as the last successful German offensive in the USSR and is still studied in military academies as a text-book example of mobile defence.
