Krasny Bor, Russia, February 10, 1943: At the beginning of February 1943, 
the Soviet 55th Army aimed to break the vital Lenningrad-Moscow Highway 
and to encircle the German unit in the Mga sector. The pivot point for this 
highway was Krasny Bor held by the 250 Infantry Division (the Spanish Azul 
Division). After an intensive shelling of the Spanish fortified positions, 
44,000 Russian soldiers supported by 100 tanks launched the attack in the 
morning of the 10th. By 1030 hours the majority of the town was in Soviet 
hands and Russian units were attacking the command post of the 262nd Regiment
and the hospital on the southern edge of the town.
