0204_03: About Turn [No 24th Pz Div] - PzC 06 Korsun '44

Shpola, February 4th 1944: The German XXXXVII Panzer Korps had pulled back into the gaping hole between it and III Pz Korps to lick its wounds. It had been roughly handled by the Soviet onslaught. The Korps pulled its battered divisions together for a final desperate effort to relieve the pocket. Its first attack was beaten off, and then on Feb 4th it was ready to attack once more. Help, in the form of 24th Pz Division, was supposed to be forthcoming. However, before it could add its weight to the conflict, it was recalled to the area around Nikopol, so it did an about turn, leaving the Korps to its own devices. [Size medium]
