Given your arguments about semantics etc. don't you think it's possible that 'indefinite hold' was the German way of spinning 'abandoned'.
Seems pretty obvious to me that if you're conducting a war, you would try to avoid using phrases like 'give up' and 'couldn't win' or 'failed'.
"Indefinite hold" sounds like a nice way to put "Can't do it".
