Fighting in the Breach / Ostfront Winter of 1942-43 (Hagerstown, MD)

It was the winter of 1942-43.  Our 6th Army had been destroyed at Stalingrad & the Red Army was making significant advances westward for the first time.  Only months before we had been pushing deeper and deeper into Soviet Territory , taking major cities and reaching as far as the Kavkaz.  Now we were just trying to hold the crumbling front.  Gone were the days of victory in the east.  We were portraying random elements of the German army fighting for survival on a collapsing front.
