OF 1 STALIN'S SHADOW:
The sounds of incoming artillery
heralded the attack of the 4.Panzer Division across the Bug
River south of Brest-Litovsk. The grenadiers of Panzergrenadier
Regiment 33, supported by a platoon of tanks from Panzer
Regiment 35, marched eastward along the main road into the town.
German panzers duelled with Soviet light tanks, while German
grenadiers stormed the heavily defended municipal building.
OF 2 STORM, FIVE-FIVE-FIVE!: The
radios of the Soviet Don Tank Corps crackled with the words “Storm
Five-Five-Five!” The all-out offensive against the salient of Army Group
Centre had begun. East of the Bobruysk Bridge, over the Berezina River,
waited a worthy opponent; the reinforced II./Panzer Regiment 21,
20.Panzer Division was well placed and could be employed against
either a northerly or southerly Russian thrust. The battalion was
superbly equipped with about one hundred battle worthy Panzer IVs;
however, Major Paul Schulze, in command of the regiment, had yet to
receive his orders.
OF 3 FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BOLD:
The German Blitzkrieg was still in full swing and Heniz
Guderian’s Panzergruppe 2 spearheads had crossed the Berezina
at Bobruysk and Borisov and were now making for the Dnieper. Fortune
favours the bold and Guderian or Fast Heniz, as he was known as, wanted
to cross the Dnieper. Guderian’s advanced detachments discovered the
Russians had fortified and were strongly holding the principal Dnieper
crossings at Rogachev, Mogilev, and Orsha.
OF 4 ESCAPE TO THE ELBE: Despite
the Germans’ pyrrhic victories of Seelow Heights and Diedersdorf, the
Red Army broke through the German defences along the Oder River and
advanced towards the German capital. On 27 April, Sturmartillerie
Brigade 249 successfully broke through the Soviet encircling ring
before the Red Army had been able to consolidate its position, and the
brigade’s assault guns took up positions within the Berlin defensive
perimeter.
OF 5 FOOD FOR AN ARMY:
The Germans had to eliminate the Soviet bulge on both sides of Izyum,
which represented a permanent threat to Kharkov. As the Russians sped
forward towards Kharkov, huge supplies of unimaginable quantities stored
in warehouses in Kharkov were about to fall into the Russians hands.
Timoshenko's northern pincer raged forward towards Kharkov. The Soviets
launched the 28th Army with 16 Rifle, and Cavalry Divisions, 3 Armoured
Brigade, and 2 Motorizied Brigades.
OF 6 VERITABLE GIANTS: The Neva River had been frozen since
7 January. The Russians unleashed a hurricane of fire from 4500 barrels
over the German positions. The shell burst and heavy mortar fire was
reinforced with the weight of the Red Fleet in the Leningrad harbour.
Then across the perfectly flat, snow-covered ice of the Neva, charged in
close line abreast, the men of the Soviet 13th Rifle Division. Their
objective was the German held hospital in Gorodok, where Leutnant
Winacker had set up his command post of his Kompanie 2,
Engineer Battalion 240, transforming the smouldering block of
buildings into a spitfire fortress.
