1.8 - The Halbe Pocket: April 26th

The two battlegroups fight on, but are crushed by stiff Soviet counter-attacks.

Conditions in the Halbe Pocket worsen as the Soviets tighten the noose, whilst the eastern flank of Wenck’s 12th Army reaches the Beelitz area.

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.
