Designer Notes: This scenario explores the possibility that the 23.Panzer Division was not sent as reinforcement to the 6.armee on the Mius River.
Scenario Briefing: During Operation Zitadelle, the Soviet command planned a series of offensives parallel to the German attack on the Kursk salient. In the month of July, there were two Russian offensives that together intended to prevent the movement of troops into the area of operations of Zitadelle and the destruction, or at least the removal of the 1.Panzerarmee defensive positions on the Severnyy Donets River and 6.armee on the Mius River. Soviet 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 17.Panzer Division, the 23.Panzer Division and the Wiking SS Division, which remained in the sector of the front of the 1.Panzerarmee so that once the Soviet offensive began, the Germans would have a reserve with which to counter-attack the Russian units, in addition, the Germans had months to fortify the line of the Severnyy Donets. The so-called Izyum-Barvenkovo Offensive operation, together with the one against the 6.armee on the Mius River, was one of the most intense fighting that occurred during the summer of 1943 and although it did not produce the expected operational results, it was a Soviet strategic success, by not allowing the Germans to use the XXIV.Panzerkorps first and the III.Panzerkorps after it was sent to the Mius front.
