Introduction |
---|
While further south their comrades finished the battle for Kishinev, Romanian 3rd Army crossed the Dnestr River into the Ukraine. There they faced the formidable Stalin Line pre-war defense system. Ordered to smash through, Romanian assault groups formed and began to arduous task. |
Conclusion |
---|
The Soviets showed little initiative to counter-attack, but neither would they surrender their positions and they fought with tenacious courage. The Romanians had to take each position in savage hand-to-hand fighting before they could wheel to the north and resume their advance. |
