S.L.A. Marshall in Colliers Encyclopedia, v.23 p.613:
"...resistance mounted ever higher, and the German power began to ebb  
before it had met the real strength of the defending garrison.  In the  
first days of December the Germans were forced to withdraw...an even  
greater tonic to the national morale was the repulse of the German  
armies in the south. Stiffened by the arrival of a fresh corps from  
Siberia, Timoshenko counterattacked on November 24 and drove the  
Germans back along a 120-mile front.  The retreat did not end until  
the Germans had passed Taganrog, 120 miles to the west.  The extent to  
which Germany felt these defeats was indicated a few weeks later when  
Hitler dismissed his commander-in-chief, Field Marshal  von  
Brauchitsch and took personal charge of the Russian battle."
