Story
Date: October 7, 1941
Location: Forest west of Bryansk
German unit: German 2nd Army
Soviet Unit: Soviet 19th Army
Background: In preparation of a direct offensive on Moscow, Hitler ordered the 2nd army to take care of the anti-aircraft guns north of the Bryansk Front. This will allow the Luftwaffe to safely attack. Panzer support was unavailable because of the dense forest and highly elevated hill. The 2nd Army had to enter the forest under extreme weather with little support.
Situation: The Soviet 19th Army had dug in heavily. They were prepared for major losses and knew that the Germans must pay for every piece of Soviet land they stood upon. The German 2nd Army had very little knowledge of the surrounding area and planned on attacking with the cover of heavy fog. However, unknown to them that beyond the fog were just not soldiers of the Soviet Army but sons who were willing to die for Mother Russia.
Real life end result: It didn't happen. This map came from Danh's imagination.
