Conflict

During the destruction of Army Group Center, many of Hitler’s “Fortified Localities” were cut off and surrounded by the Russian advance. Bokruisk was just such a city. The city had become a fortress with pillboxes and old tank turrets being used throughout. The Russian attack came from the north and south where the Germans were weakest. After successfully breaking through the fixed outer defenses, the Russian attack turned into bloody street fighting. . .
