There are problems with this scenario: it cannot be set-up using the standard terrain tiles of Memoir '44 and the selected extensions. There are too many terrains of one or more types. Please contact the author.
Historical Background:
The Demyansk Pocket was the name given to the pocket of German troops encircled by the Red Army around Demyansk, south of Leningrad. It resulted from the German retreat following their defeat during the Battle of Moscow. On March 21st, 1942, German forces attempted to leave through the "Ramushevo Corridor". Over the next several weeks, this corridor was widened and the Germans were able to break the siege on April 21st.
