Introduction |
---|
German reconnaissance revealed that the Soviets had converted the Kalmu -- as they called Hill 254 -- into what the division history later called a "a fire-spewing fortress." To keep the Soviets from sending reinforcements to the symbolic hill, Grossdeutschland's staff conceived a series of diversionary attacks to the west of the hill. One such raid was conducted against the village of Cucuteni. |
Conclusion |
---|
Things went better than expected for the Germans as they drove the Soviets out of Cucuteni without incurring undue casualties. The Soviet 7th Guards Army responded by committing its entire reserve, the 6th Rifle Division, to deal with the intruders. But by the time they arrived they found the Germans long gone. |
