Overview:

The Soviets, desperate to relieve the siege of Leningrad, launched Operation SPARK along a narrow corridor south of Lake Lagoda. The German commander, Generaloberst Georg Lindemann, knowing the Soviets would be attacking, had his troops deployed and well entrenched. They were, however, thinly spread, with divisions covering ten miles of more. Lindemann repeatedly asked for reinforcements, but all that was available were three regiments from Infanterie-Division 96, a combat group from Gebirgsjäger-Division 5, and Kompanie 1 from schwere Panzer-Abteilung 502. This unit was equipped with the new heavy Tiger tank, whose whitewash paint was no help in navigating the wintry woods and swamps of the Leningrad front. The Soviets attacked at dawn with infantry supported by T-34’s and were about to overrun the Germans when the Tigers arrived.

Defender: German (Infanterie-Regiment 284, Infanterie-Division 96 with Kompanie 1, schwere Panzer-Abteilung 502)
