What was the outcome of Manstein's relief effort at Stalingrad?

  • Successful

  • Inconclusive

  • Failed

  • Cancelled

Answer

Failed. Manstein's relief effort, Operation Winter Storm, ultimately failed in its objective to break through Soviet defenses and provide significant relief to the encircled German 6th Army in Stalingrad. Despite initial advances, harsh winter conditions, fierce Soviet resistance, and overstretched supply lines thwarted his attempts, contributing to the ultimate destruction of the 6th Army.
