Battle of the Kerch Peninsula - May 08, 1942 - May 18, 1942

Historical Background:
Compared to other German masterpiece battles of maneuver Kerch Peninsula is unknown. Erich von Manstein utilized a simple maneuver of warfare to win this battle: envelopment of a single flank. The battle was won so decisively because General D.T. Kozlov was convinced the major push would come in the north and also because the major push was so swift and well-supported. Can Kozlov blunt the attack long enough to exploit Manstein's precarious position fighting two fronts?
