Overview:
In February, two German Armeekorps -- six divisions -- were stuck in the area around Demyansk. The harsh winter had hit the unprepared Germans hard and, combined with stiff Soviet resistance, forced them into defensive positions. On 8 February, the Soviets closed the ring around the Germans, forming the Demyansk pocket. Nearly 100,000 Germans soldiers were trapped an the only way to supply then was by air. To solve this the Germans launched Operation BRUCKENSCHLAG on 29 March to crack open the Demyansk pocket and relieve their trapped comrades there.Attacker: German/German (SS) (Leichte Infanterie-Division 8, Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 184, and Kampfgruppe Eicke, SS-Panzer-Division 3)
Defender: Russian (384th Rifle Division, 11th Army)
