Guderians turn south

[JC]

Sorry but the Fugate claim about taking the caucausus is preposterous. The distance from Baku to Rostov is the same as Rostov to the Romanian border. Mostly, there was not the infantry to hold such vast territory, regardless how weak the SOviets were

If you read it closely enough you'll see that it is not a claim by Fugate but rather a statement as to what Zhukov and Budenny thought.

He says that was their thought, but again, the Soviets may not have been able to hold the territory mentioned if the German had enough men, but since they did not it is a moot point

... I was quoting a source that I should have known to be unreliable when I said ... Hitler had convinced Guderian that turning south was the thing to do. ...

Which source was this?
