Toropets–Kholm Offensive January 9 – February 6
Special Note: CMRT Winter Mod by kohlenklau and BarbaricCo
Kampfgruppe Scherer’s famous defence of the besieged kessel of Kholm was preceded by a delaying action conducted by the less famous Kampfgruppe Stengel. This battle group was formed when the 123rd Infantry Division was forced into three parts by the Soviet offensive. Oberst Stengel was the commander of the 416 Infantry Regiment. This is a semi-historical battle based on this situation.
