April 1944

Eastern Front

After heavy fighting the XLVIII Panzer Corps gains a little territory on the approaches to Tarnopol. However, the battle proves costly, many of the German tanks being disabled and much of their available fuel consumed. Inside Tarnopol the Germans in teh Zagrobela suburb prepare to break out. The 1,300 men, forced to leave their 700 wounded behind, will launch their attack the next day. The forces cut off in the second pocket have been largely destroyed.
