Overview:
Towards the end of the Russian winter, German commanders in the east belived Soviet efforts would wane as the ground turned to mud. However, Marshal Zhukov mustered six tank armies within the 1st Ukrainian Front and, on March 4, launched them with the town of Tarnopol as a key objective. The "Mud Offensive" was successful and 200,000 Germans under General Hube became trapped, victim's of Hitler's no retreat order. Fortunately, by early April the Germans managed to skillfully extract themselves from Hube's Pocket. The 5,000 defenders of Tarnopol were not so lucky and they oud not free themselves from the Soviet siege. German armor units were tasked to break the stranglehold but received an unexpected guest. . ."Joseph Stalin" tanks armed with 122mm guns.Attacker: German (SS) (Bataillon III, SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 20, SS-Panzer-Division 9 "Hohenstaufen" with schwere Panzer-Abteilung 507 and Abteilung I, Panzer-Regiment II, Panzer-Division 6)
