1.10 - The Halbe Pocket: April 28th

The final breakout attempt is launched as the 9th Army seeks to smash through the Soviet defences in Halbe.

Meanwhile, the 12th Army successfully evacuates the Potsdam Garrison.

Map: Here is a map giving the approximate route the German 9th Army took between mid-April and early May 1945. The precise movements of all units within the army cannot be traced exactly, therefore this map only serves as a rough guide to help you follow the events covered in the series.
