THE CHERKASSY POCKET

In January 1944, another pocket formed
near Cherkassy when the Second Ukrainian
Front ripped a huge hole in the German
lines and trapped about 56,000 men of the
11th and 42nd Corps.  Airlift operations
started on the 29th of January, but
forty-four planes were lost in the first
5 days due to accidents, anti-aircraft
fire, and Russian fighters.

MISSION

You are to stop the German He111s from
landing at the Komarovka airstrip and
resupplying the SS Wiking Division in the
pocket.  They are infiltrating in small
groups of one or two, with some escort.
Any plane that lands, even if
subsequently destroyed on the ground,
counts against you.  The mission is a
failure if two or more He111s are able to
land.

NOTES

This is a snow mission.
