The final German drive on Moscow, code
named “Operation Typhoon”, kicked off with Panzer Armies breaking through the
Russian lines up and down the entire front. German infantry divisions were to draw
the Russian armies in while the Panzer Divisions swept around behind to close the
door on any retreat. Nowhere did these tactics work better than on Konev’s
Western Front. When two infantry divisions of General Heitz’s VIII Corps infiltrated
the boundary between the Soviet 16th and 19th Armies, the Russian rifle divisions
hurried to engage them. Time after time, the Soviets rifle divisions were drawn
into the German attacks. Heavily engaged, they were stuck in the vortex
of the battle.
Attacker: German (Elements of 28th Infantry Division, General Heitz’s VIII Corps.)
