Introduction |
---|
Twentieth Army had ripped a hole in the German lines during the offensive's first days, but stout German defenses on either "shoulder" of the breach kept the Soviets from fully exploiting their success. On the northern edge, assorted German units around the town of Belyi fought off repeated assaults. Maj. Gen. Fedorovich Tarasov sent two relatively fresh brigades at the problem once again, hoping to catch the Germans off-guard. |
Conclusion |
---|
Tarasov, a former NKVD officer, had no concern for losses and the two brigades suffered massive casualties. They came within 400 meters of meeting their objectives before falling back under punishing machine-gun and small-arms fire. The 1st Panzer Division's headquarters staff fell out and picked up arms to make a last stand, but were saved by the final Soviet collapse. The Soviets were unaware of how close they came to decapitating the German command and control in this sector. |
