Overview:
"Despair" - On 12th July 1943, the Soviet counter-offensive of 1943 began. Taking advantage of the exhaustion of the panzers mired in the defenses of the Kursk salient, three Soviet Fronts attacked near Orel, the 1941 springboard for the Nazi advance on Moscow. While some sectors resisted well, the situation of the 55th Army Corps, in the northwest of the salient, quickly became desperate. The powerful 11th Guards Army, well commanded by General Bagramian, punched through the German lines and threatened to isolate the enemy forces around Orel. But the 5th Panzer Division succeeds in slowing the Russian riflemen, allowing more time for mobile reinforcements to arrive. The 4th Panzer Division thus provided a Kampfgruppe built around its reconnaissance elements that joined with the 9th Panzer Division to meet the advance elements of Bagramian. Despite receiving reinforcements and new equipment, such as heavy 88mm anti-tank guns, the situation of the kampfgruppe remained difficult, especially with the Guards striving to maintain the initiative.Attacker: Russian (Elements 11th Guards Army)
Defender: German (Elements 4th Panzer Division)
