Death
Fedor von Bock was reassigned to lead Army Group South on 20 January 1942 after the death of Walter von Reichanau. On 28 June 1942, Bock's offensive split the Russian front into fragments on either side of Kurst. Three armies fanned out toward Voronezh and the Don River. Paulous' armored divisions reached the Don on either side of Voronezh on 5 July. The Soviet High Command created a Voronezh Front under Nikolai Vatutin, who reported directly to Moscow. Bock wanted to eliminate Vatutin's forces before extending his own flank deeply into the void created by the strength and speed of the German offensive.

Hitler was not pleased with Bock's plan to delay the push toward Stalingrad and on 7 July, Hitler split Army Group South into Army Groups A and B. Army Group A was given to Field Marshal Wilhelm List to command and on 13 July, Hitler relieved Bock as commander of Army Group B, replacing him with Maximilian von Weichs. Bock was injured on 3 May 1945, as his car was strafed by a British fighter plane killing his wife, stepdaughter and a friend. Initially the only survivor of the attack, Bock later died of his injuries the following day.
