Budogosh, Russia 1941-10-23 (4 others)

Overview:

In October 1941 the Wehrmacht attempted to reignite their offensive towards Moscow. This included a major thrust by Army Group North eastward from the Lake Ilmen-Lake Ladoga line, towards the town of Tikhvin. The advance began on October 16th and preempted a Russian counteroffensive from the north into the northern flank of the German forces. For four days, the Germans fought through the Russian Fourth Army lines, finally breaking through into a roadless “no-mans land”. On the 23rd, the Germans were close to the key town of Bodogosh, which if captured, would open the door for a major push to Tikhvin.

Defender: Russian (288th Rifle Division)
