Hill 239, East of Lissjanka 1944-02-16 (16 others)

Overview:

This series of scenarios depicted different phases of the battle on Hill 239. The first scenario is the main relief attempt, 'Schwerpunkt!' The next depicts the final relief attempt that occurred later that day, 'Nimm das Jetzt!' The third scenario portrays the first elements of the organized breakout 'The Ride of The Walkyrie' and ends with a last ditch effort by survivors of the trapped corps, 'Final Desperation.' "Take That Now!" After the failure of the 1st Panzer Division to take Hill 239, the III Panzer Corps made a last ditch effort to relieve the forces in the Cherkassy pocket. The 1st SS Panzer Division "LAH" was ordered to attack Hill 239 and effect the breakout of the two encircled Army Corps. Meanwhile, the Russians had strengthened the forces holding the critical heights overlooking the steppe, and hastily dug in their troops.

Defender: Russian (Motorized Infantry Regiment, 5th Tanks Corp.)
