Stalingrad Campaign alt turn 55 - some comments

I was thinking they pulled it off due to the quality of troops and equipment in spite of higher level command deficiencies. Pzc can simulate such a situation well with a lower HQ range combined with high morale and combat values.

I don't think it is the in-fighting itself that is a problem. Hausser's insubordination and irresolute leadership is what is bad, and the SS superiority at in-fighting is just an explanation of how someone with those flaws could stay in his job.

Overall, I get the sense that the privileged back channels protected poor leaders from being weeded out. At the same time, the SS leadership may have been less able to learn from mistakes that they could blame on others.
