After considering the options, especially of turning over his army to someone who was not fully aware of his troop dispositions and their strengths and weaknesses, Jaenecke gave in. This time, he was expressly forbidden to make any such move by Hitler himself, which seemed to make a serious impression on the general. No one else will execute it either. If I get one more division [for you] everything will be all right. Deep trenches and concrete strongpoints gave the troops a sense of safety that had been lacking in other areas of the Crimea.
