The Cold Front
The bitter Russian winter of 1943/44 was matched by some of the toughest
fighting of the ground war. Between the Carpathian Mountains and the Dneiper
River elements of the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler
reinforced their fearsome reputation. Panthers of SS Pz.Rgt.1 move forward to
engage Soviet armour, passing a Tiger of the 13th Heavy Company LAH. Overhead,
Fw190As of Hptm Erich Rudorffers II/JG54 lend support by hunting for Soviet
ground attack aircraft ahead of the panzer spearhead. |
