And about the telegram 21.35 source is known. Order or telegram. Voronezh allowed to take.
So, what is the source, please ?
Maybe NARA. The author of the site did not indicate a source. Want to believe, he did not invent.

От группы армий "Юг" в 21.35 получена телеграмма следующего содержания: "Противник перед 6А и 4ТА разбит. 6А, преследуя противника, вышла на линию Валуйки, Николаевка (восточнее Буденный), русло Тихая Сосна и Дон до Гремящее (исключительно). При этом 40ТК в своем прежнем составе поворачивает на восток с задачей захватить в районе Острогожск и Коротояк предмостное укрепление через Тихая Сосна и тем самым обеспечить южный фланг 4ТА у Дона".
Your source http://don1942.ru/oborona-sovetskikh-vo ... a-voronezh
indicates that the 3rd Von Bock received the following order from Hitler :
"the task to take Voronej is over... do not take Voronej in any circumstances. If the ennmy comes with many forces, an exit out of Voronej and south of the Don is OK"

I wonder what is the source for this very interesting order. :milsmile:

Not. He was allowed to take Voronezh, if this does not require a lot of stress. The author of the site designed words from Halder’s diary into an order on July 3. In this business.

my source quotes Halder and only

July 3, 1942, the 377th day of the war
Two ideas: pressure from the north is perfectly acceptable; relocation to the east.
1. To take Voronezh by no means under any circumstances. If it turns out that the enemy is advancing by large forces, then an exit to the Don south of Voronezh is sufficient. (According to reports, the industry of Voronezh is not dismantled.)
2. In the course of further operations, quick short breaks are needed in order to constantly neutralize the enemy in parts ...

Glantz argued, von Bock. As they considered, there were on that bases... a strange view of the events. David Glantz, do you hear? David Frankenberg understands better!

For Mr Glantz VB's disobedience is only an "apparent "disobedience'" whereas it is a clear disobedience.

Glantz doesnt talk much about 5th-9th july events. He just says that Hitler permitted VB to continue the occupation of Voronej while at the same time he tried to send the troops down the south.
Well, this is true that Hitler didnt dismiss VB the 5th july, neither especially ordered him to abandon Voronej that very day. But did it mean that Hitler agreed with VB occupation of Voronej ? I dont think so.
What was important in the eyes of Hitler was to send the motor. div. south in order to encircle the soviet troops. It is true that, as VB noted, it was too late... but it's not Hitler's fault but VB's one !

Analysis of events shows that there were no prohibitions. When von Bock offered infantry divisions to encircle in the south, Hitler was furious and demanded panzer divisions. It takes time to replace some divisions with others. For an example, terms near Leningrad. Infantry divisions would have come faster, tanks are needed!

Leeb's personal notes in the notebook:

The Fuhrer decided to launch an offensive in the direction of Volkhovstroi not by the 39th Army Corps, but by infantry divisions. As a result, the next 14 days will go to regroup the forces ...

No orders. This is just your logic from Halder's diary entries. Hitler said vague wishes and von Bock was later accused of failing to draw correct conclusions from words of the Fuhrer. Halder wrote about the fraud of Hoth, under the influence of which Bock fell. But not a fact.

Below 2 of your post with logic of order, which actually was not.

VB had delayed the advance of arm. div. to the south in order to cover the attack on Voronej. Whereas he should not attack Voronej but just keep on going south.
Theoretically, you may be right, but the probability of this possibility is minimal. So vaguely "...going south..." orders are not given. Look at an example of the order of OKH of July 12, 1942
During the night came the Directive from the high command of the land forces on the continuation of the operation:
"Group of armies" B " (Bock) should move in the General direction to the mouth of the Donets, sending all available at its disposal mobile forces to Kamensk to join the battle with the enemy troops in the North of the Don and destroy them, attacking from the rear. The remaining forces of the army group should cover this maneuver from the threat from the East and contribute to the creation of conditions for an offensive in the direction of Stalingrad."
For such a definite order from OKH waited von Bock and he got it ... July 10. End of thriller "Disobedience of VB"! :(
The orders about Voronej were given the 3rd in Poltava during a meeting between OKW, OKH and VB.

Are you saying that there were several orders? In this case, show at least one, please and I recognize your rightness.

You are wrong. Hoth did not counterfeit anything. Von Bock faked Hoth's report in orrder to support his claim for having motor. div. in Voronej !

Hoth like Hitler like Halder knew that using tanks in Voronej was a waste !
