Escape from the Kiev Pocket
Lubny, Ukraine, 18th Septembre 1941.
Having been given too late the order to retreat by Stalin, the armies defending Kiev now found themselves victims of a classic german pincer attack led from the North by Guderian and South by Kliest. The soviets only hope was to break through the german panzer gruppes' lines to the East.
38th and 26th soviet armies gathered what tanks they had left (some sources say as few as 35 machines) and formed breakthrought groups to reach the city of Lubny on the Udai river only to find that Kliest's 16th panzer division was already there...
