(4) Rzhev Winter (FBP Improved)

"I was killed near Rzhev,
In a nameless bog,
In fifth company,
On the Left flank,
In a cruel air raid."

The poem by Alexander Tvardovsky describes the human cost of the massive operations in and around "The Rzhev Meat Grinder", where Soviet forces lost more than 1 million dead and injured.

Both combatant armies will struggle to keep their infantry alive in the bitter cold, where blizzards and ice are treacherous. Control the battlefield and flatten the Rzhev Salient once and for all.
