Historical Background:
In April 1944, the 51st Soviet Army, part of the 4th Ukrainian Front under the command of General Tolbukhin, crossed the Sivash and in ten days captured the most part of Crimea. The 17.Armee, composed of German and Romanian troops had withdrawn in Sevastopol and resisted to the Soviets. On the 7th of May, after a diversion attack north of the city, General Tolbukhin ordered the main attack on Sapun Ridge, which was the gate of Sevastopol. At the end of the day, Sapun Ridge was in the hand of Soviet troops. At that time Sevastopol was lost for the Axis, they withdrew in the Khersonese Cape with the hope to be evacuated by the Navy.
