Description
The Kamenets-Podolsky Pocket 1944 Encirclement of Hube's 1st Panzer Army by Robert Forczyk In February 1944, a critical battle took place that would have far-reaching consequences for the German military. The relief operation to save trapped German forces in the Korsun Pocket was a major effort, but it came at a significant cost. The losses suffered by Hube's 1st Panzer Army left its forces weakened, exhausted, and vulnerable to attack. On March 4, 1944, the Soviet forces, led by Zhukov and Konev, launched a massive pincer operation against Hube's army. Within three weeks, the German forces were isolated, with their back to the Dniester River. This book provides a detailed examination of the initial Soviet encirclement operation, Hube's breakout operation, and the relief operation by the 2nd SS-Panzer Corps in April 1944.
