March 1944

Eastern Front

After heavy fighting the XLVIII Panzer begins a relief attack toward Tarnopol. The dual role of the attack is also to close the gap between the 4th and 1st Panzer Armies. Fierce, but ultimately unsuccessful fighting will rage for the next week. The 1st Panzer Army falls back across the Bug as its right wing is bent back by the 2nd Ukrainian Front. Kherson falls to the 28th Army on the extreme southern wing after a costly battle with the XLIV Corps.
