Introduction |
---|
XLVIII Panzer Corps ordered 3rd Panzer Division to find a crossing over the Pena River near Rakovo. The plan called for an early morning assault, but it depended on the defeat of the remaining defenders around Cherkasskoye. Shortly after 1000 they received the "go" order. |
Conclusion |
---|
The panzers brushed aside the Guards defenders and pushed on to the river. There the recon battalion vainly searched for a crossing suitable for armor over the steeply banked though shallow river, all the while taking heavy fire from the north bank. Between counterattacks and a lack of suitable crossing sites the XLVIII Corps soon turned their attention to the northeast. |

The Germans faced a thinner front than in other recent battles, but they were also a bit thin. The Soviet strongpoints held up well and their AT fire, when confronted with German attack groups, did damage to the German armor as the infantry held up their end as well. The Germans took Rokovo after a good fight, but could not get the village on map 41. They did exit 16 steps at the last minute, but it was still a Soviet m8 or victory. |
