The Korsun Pocket 1944 #2549

Niklas Zetterling & Anders Frankson Astonishing tale of the breakout from Korsun. Vivid description of one of the most dramatic battles of WWII. However, the Germans were able to avoid serious defeats. Then, in January 1944, a disaster happened. Six divisions of Army Group South became surrounded. The Germans’ greatest fear was the prospect of another Stalingrad, the catastrophe that had occurred precisely one year before. This time, though, von Manstein was in control from the start and he immediately rearranged his Army Group to rescue his trapped divisions. Leading the break-in was Franz Baeke with his Tiger and Panther-tanks. Due to both weather and ferocious resistance, the German drive stalled. Although the Germans within the pocket lost nearly all of their heavy weapons and left many wounded behind, their escape was effected. 320pp. 16pp photos Details   Price: £20.00 Options   Quantity 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50  Add to cart
