Overview:
On 8 September, 1941, German forces completed the encirclement of Leningrad upon reaching Shliselburg, where the Neva River exists Lake Ladoga. The encircled Soviet forces in Leningrad tried several times to establish a bridgehead across the Neva River in order to allow a land connection with relief coming from the east. On 20 September, 1941, they succeeded in establishing a small bridgehead. Measuring only 1400 meters by 500 meters, it was nicknamed "Nevsky Pyatachok" - "Five-Kopeck Bridgehead" -- after the small coin in Soviet currency. While the Soviets kept the bridgehead reinforced, they also failed to enlarge it. As the ice broke up in April 1942, the bridgehead was temporarily isolated, and the Germans took the opportunity to attack. By 29 April, after five days of attacks by elements of the German 1st Infantry Division, the Soviets were barely holding on. The Germans planned a night assault to finish off Nevsky Pyatachok.Attacker: German (1. Infanterie Regiment and 1. Pionier Battalion, 1. Infanterie Division)
Defender: Russian (330th Rifle Regiment, 86th Rifle Division)
