| Introduction |
|---|
|
Lt. Gen. Friedrich Scholtz of XX Corps hoped to launch a dawn attack on the Russians, but his staff soon informed him that 37th Infantry Division was far too disorganized to attack. Worse, Russian infantry had infiltrated so close to his positions that he could not pull the division back to re-order it for the assault. Scholtz ordered 3rd Reserve Division forward to push the Russians back and save the regulars from being overrun. |
| Conclusion |
|---|
|
While the Russians were in better shape than their enemies, they still suffered problems of their own. The Russian pursuit did not press the Germans closely, and when fresh German troops came onto the battlefield the Russians were content to let the Germans pull away. Thirty-Seventh Infantry Division had been put out of the fight for some days; it would be up to Second Army command to exploit this advantage. |
