Overview:
Even as the Germans were preparing to launch their '42 summer offensive in southern Russia, the Soviets hit first with a major pincer attack towards Kharkov. The main thrust would come from the “Izyum Bridge” which was itself the planned target for German “Operation Fridericus” due to commence in six days which was postponed when the Russians struck first on May 10th. For three straight days Paulus' Sixth Army was hammered by wave after wave of riflemen and torrents of armor that smashed 15 miles into the German lines. Bock decided to counter with a truncated version of “Fridericus” by Keist's First Panzer aimed at the open flank of Timoshenko's spearhead.Attacker: German (Elements of Kleist's 1st Panzer Division)
Defender: Russian (Elements of Kharitonov's 9th Army)
