Western shore of Cape Krestovyi 1944-10-12 (17 others)

Overview:

On the night of October 11, a Russian force of sailors captured and dismantled a battery of 88s along the western shore of Cape Krestovyi, but at dawn the next day, Germans remaining on the Cape, with support of assault boats, launched a counter-attack, forcing the Russians to withdraw to the east. But by midday, the Soviet positions, bolstered by reinforcements, were strong enough to launch a counter-attack of their own.
