Despite attempts by General Hoth to order Hausser to stick to the original plan, the SS Panzer Corps' commander decided to continue with his own plan of attack on the city, although Soviet defenses forced him to postpone the attack until the next day.
Usprkos pokušajima generala Hotha da naredi Hausseru da se drži izvornog plana, korpus SS Panzer Corps' je odlučio nastaviti sa svojim vlastitim planom napada na grad, iako su ga sovjetske obrane prisilile na odgađanje napada do drugog dana.
