February 1944

Eastern Front

The 2nd Tank Army attacks the III Panzer Corps. Heavy German losses follow but the 2nd Tank is held at bay. As this battle rages the III moves additional units up to support those forces already fighting at Lysyanka. Inside the cauldron the 72nd Infantry Division is pressed hard at Novo Buda and Komarovka as the Soviets try to force Stemmerman away from the relief force. As the rear of the pocket draws in, the SS Wallonien Brigade is heavily attacked.
