Historical Background:
Soviet troops of General Vlasov were close to the end. Surrounded by the enemy in the swampy forest, the 2nd Shock Army had the choice to breakthrough the enemy lines or to die. On the 21 June 1942, several hundred of soldiers crossed the German lines to reach the Soviet defensive positions on the Volkhov river. In spite of heavy losses, it was a success. General Vlasov who remained in the pocket was finally taken prisoner by the Germans on the 11 July 1942. The battle of the Volkhov was over.
