(Illuminating Rounds-Training Pack ID: IR-T2)

A small town West of Moscow near Aleksino 1942-11-14 (1 other)

Overview:

With the mud beginning to dry, the Germans, still wearied and depleted from the long winter, were hoping to renew their attacks on Moscow. But Moscow was now surrounded by three rings of steel and Stalin had ordered counterattacks to slow the German attempts to organize for an offensive. Hundreds of thousands of Russian reinforcements were pouring into the area. Some of them had only rudimentary training. Their lives would be the cost of any disruption Stalin could inflict on the enemy. At sunrise, these men were ordered to clear the approaches for an attack by the new T-34 tanks.
