Not entirely Paulus estimated that his tanks could do about 20 of the
30 miles required.

The initial pocket was pretty big, about thirty miles across. The
western edge of that was some distance from German lines. So all the
troops in Stalingrad, at the eastern edge, are going to have to cross
the pocket's width as extra distance. This is going to take a few days,
especially since it's a fighting retreat through snow on foot.

Where were the tanks positioned when the pocket closed? If they're on
the eastern edge, 20 miles doesn't get them across the pocket.
