The shattered remnants of the 6th Panzer Division, almost destroyed in the retreat during the winter, had the job of defending the sector from Sychevka and Vyazma. Men were hastily formed into alert units to limit the frequent Russian penetrations to the vital rollbahn. On the 27th February, some of these units were asked to drive the Russians further away. The assault beginning with a farmhouse on the edge of the village.
