preparations were not concealed, the Soviets experts in deception and camouflage techniques,
were very concerned that their movements would be detected, the German command and
Hitler himself, ordered that the XXIV.Panzerkorps, with the 17th Panzer Division, the 23rd
Panzer Division and the Wiking SS Division, which remained in the sector of the front of the
