Battle of Kholm - the battlefield



A few shots of the battlefield before tomorrow's battle.

First viewpoint from the German side of the lines.  The town is held by the Germans but their line of supply has been cut by Russian ski troops.




Close up of the town. The River is frozen but vehicles can only cross by the bridge. Top right is a vehicle redoubt - a circle of broken down vehicles used as a forward fighting point by the Germans.

Also seen (in excellent winter camo!) on the left is a Ju52 used to keep the German defenders in supply.



Low-down viewpoint.  Ju52 to the left and Russian bomber just above the horizon.



A better view of the town, river, redoubt  and the bridge.

Looking very good Phil - the JU52 is a great touch.
