The German Pocket That refused to Die in Ukrayne | 1944 WW2

March 1944, Western Ukraine. Two hundred thousand German soldiers of the 1st Panzer Army are encircled by six Soviet armies near Kamenets-Podolsky. With almost no fuel, dwindling ammunition, and the spring mud swallowing everything that moves, General Hube receives an impossible order — break out west, through one hundred and fifty kilometres of enemy-held territory. What follows is the largest successful breakout of the Second World War. This is the story told from the inside — from the mud, the river crossings, and the burning vehicles — through the eyes of a Leutnant in the 1st Panzer Division, the unit that led the vanguard into the unknown.
