On 20 November Hitler ordered again to reorganize southern front in the Soviet Union. The order was following: between the Army Group A  under Field Marshal Wilhelm Sigmund List   and Army Group B under Field Marshal Maximillian von Weichs

at the turn of the river Don has to be sent another Army Group. Army Group Don was created from the headquarters of the Eleventh Army in the southern sector of the Eastern Front on 22-11-1942. The army group only lasted until February 1943 when it was combined with Army Group B and was made into the new Army Group South. The one commander of Army Group Don was Field Marshal Erich von Manstein.
