What did army group A do while the battle of stalingrad raged?

I've never really looked into it in any depth, but Uranus would have made their position completely untenable, with the securing flank to their north crumbling like old mortar. I imagine they retreated across the Crimean peninsula or towards Rostov, since I never heard about them being wiped out. But like I said, I never checked into it in any detail.

Also exactly how many men were there in the caucasus on the soviet's side? Maybe there were inadequate german manpower

Your map mentions 8 armies; by 1942, I believe Soviets were averaging 6 divisions to an army, so we're talking 48ish divisions and about 10,000 men to an average division; so a bit under half a million.

But of course the divisions were not likely at full strength, and if they had cavalry and armor formations, these would be somewhat smaller, I'm sure an assemblage that large would have more than just infantry formations. I'd guess in the 380,000ish range, but again, I'm just working on general knowledge of Red Army operations and applying it to a specific instance here rather than doing real research.
