Block Busting in Bokruisk

Bokruisk, June 19, 1944: During the destruction of Army Group Center many 
of Hitler's "Fortified Localities" were cut-off and surrounded by the Russian 
advance. These moves were an almost perfect copy of the German blitzkreig. 
Bokruisk was just such a city. The city had become a fortress, with pillboxes 
and old tank turrets being used throughout. In covering the city from the east, 
a fixed system of trenches and other earthworks were in evidence, but the Russian 
attack came from the northern and southern flanks where the Germans were least 
able to cope with the threat. After successfully breaking through the fixed outer 
defenses, the Russian attack turned into bloody street fighting.
