DEAD OF WINTER
Northwest of STARITSA, December 29, 1941, RUSSIA
History: The German army was frozen in place. Bitter cold and
deep snow made the thinly-clad Wehrmacht dig in and fight first
for warmth, then the Russians. The Siberians were well equipped
for war in the snow, but the Soviet High Command still threw
them piecemeal at the German strongpoints. The much-heralded
Soviet winter counteroffensive was in fact a series of small-
unit actions amongst the white and evergreen of the Russian
winter. The raid on the crossroads northwest of Staritsa was
just one of many.
