So Hitler had a standing order to never surrender and to fight to the death. There are cases on occasion where commanders asked Hitler for permission to either surrender their position or retreat, and Hitler denied their request, and ordered them to stay in to fight.
Are there any instances like that where they actually ultimately succeed? Or did they always end up wiped out?
Obviously, commanders weren't asking for permission to give up unless they saw the situation as hopeless, so I doubt that even the fighting spirit of the German army was going to salvage the situation.
