Marina Gorki, 70 kms SE of Minsk, June 29th 1944: The Soviet ring had closed round Bobruysk. Elements of the battered German 9th Armee were trying to break out to the NW, but masses of Russian units were preventing this happening. Hitler had reluctantly released the 12th Pz Division from AG Ukraine, they had arrived by train and had unloaded in the Marina Gorki area. Their orders were to keep the path open for any survivors, but it was a "last ditch effort". The Soviets were determined to smash this block and move on to Minsk. [Size, medium]
