By January 1943, the Soviets already launched their counter offence and as a result, the German flanks began to weaken. After this the soviets launched a final counter offence (Operation Little Saturn) and this was a res ponce to the German offence known as Operation Winter Storm.

During January, the soviets were in the 2nd stage of Operation Little Saturn and during this month, the Soviets destroyed the Hungarian 2nd Army and nearly encircles the German 2nd Army. On January 13th 1943, whilst the Soviets destroyed the Hungarian 2nd Army, they also attack the Italian 8th army Alpine corp and this corp was unaffected prior to January 1943. Once the soviets were able to advance 200 KM, they encircled the Italian Alpine Corps. This was similar to what happened to the German 6th Army but unlike the German 6th Army, the Alpine corps fought their way out and on January 17th,the launched a full retreat.
