SA-25: The Guns of January
Description:
In late 1943, Marshal Zhukov, coordinating Vatutin and Konev's fronts, ordered Konev to call off his offensive on Krivoi Rog, and prepare a new attack, striking west instead of south, with the aim of breaking through the front of the German 8th Army, seizing Kirovograd, and striking further west to link up with a drive of Vatutin?s coming to the east, trapping parts of two German armies between them. The Soviets aimed their main blow at the juncture of General Wohler’s 8th Army’s LII Korps and XXXXVII Panzerkorps. The 2nd Fallschirmjager Division, with only six battalions of infantry and one of artillery, was holding the northern end of LII Korps front line. Fortunately for the Fallschirmjagers, most of the blow of 7th Guards Army was aimed at its neighbor to the north, the 376th Infantry. Unfortunately, even a portion of the Soviet thrust was far larger than the Germans would have liked?
