The enemy have thrown against us some numerous and well equipped troops we could only withdrawn. The whole Army Group South is now in great danger. We have to withdraw to Roumania.
But there is another thing I want to talk about. General, I know you now for more than 3 years and I have big respect for you but let me tell you something: The war is clearly lost! I think we have no chance to win this war and it seems that Hitler doesn't know how bad the situation is. But we must obey our orders. However there is one thing we can do: We don't have to risk more of our men then neccessary.
