Answer
Hitler prohibited attempts to break out or capitulate in Stalingrad, in spite of the advice of his generals. He believed that the city was a symbol of German strength, and that it was worth sacrificing the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers to hold it. This decision was one of the factors that led to the German defeat in the Battle of Stalingrad.
