Backhand was part of Manstein's operation to retake Kharkov, this was to be the final part of the operation which was canceled due to Hitler wanting a Kursk battle.

One documentary as I recall said after Stalingrad Mussolini said the Russian campaign is over we should make peace. How true is that I don't know, if true then clearly Mussolini wanted Hitler to move south to bail him out yet again.
