Well, considering they just doubled their casualty rate to 27% of their effective force over Day 5 (Coming soon), I would say Herr General isn't the brightest of the bunch... (Note, the AI in the game is excellent, if the German commander acts stupid, it's usually because he is meant to be or for some other reason)

I think the real reason for the Axis casualties in the south is the mud. By the time the Germans realize their attack is lost, decide to tell their commanders to pull back, and then the time it takes for the orders to actually get to their units, they are so thoroughly bogged down in the mud and under artillery and gunfire that risking their heads to pull back becomes a thoroughly bad idea
