Introduction |
---|
The Germans had been driven out of Bol'shaia Vishera on the 16th with the Soviets in hot pursuit. They would need to buy some more time for their fall-back positions on the Volkhov River to be completed, so on the 19th they turned to offer battle in the frozen swamps west of Bol'shaia Vishera. |
Conclusion |
---|
The Soviets had not expected the Germans to make a stand until reaching the Volkhov River. So when they turned and offered combat the Soviets were surprised and could not respond effectively. The Germans so dominated the fight that they abandoned their retreat until events on their flank much later made it prudent to do so. |
