Introduction

German offensive doctrine called for small-scale attacks in the hours before the main assault, to secure jumping-off points and to eliminate enemy forward positions that might hamper the advance. Grossdeutschland’s Fusilier Regiment would seize Gertsovka to provide the assault troops an assembly area for the morning’s main attack.

Conclusion

The Fusiliers lost both their commander and his replacement, both badly wounded, before the offensive proper had even begun. The troops tasked with taking Gertsovka lost one-third of their number but finally secured the village; the heavy fighting alerted the Soviets to the Germans’ presence. After allowing the German assault troops to settle in, they unleashed a terrific bombardment on them in the hours before the German offensive began.
