German General Zeitzler, safe in Berlin, eats Stalingrad rations in solidarity with trapped 6th Army; after weeks without adequate nutrition, Hitler orders the emaciated General to stop.
@RealTimeWWII Hitler to anyone who does anything sympathetic with others’ humanity in the Wehrmacht. https://t.co/4427AlozrL
@RealTimeWWII Meanwhile Goering continues to eat an entire company's worth of rations.
@RealTimeWWII So he's not eating.
@RealTimeWWII With the end closing, 1945... Hitler ordered Zeitzler not to wear anymore the miltary uniform.
@RealTimeWWII Never knew that one; thanks.
