Historical Background:
September 1941 - Krasnoïe Selo area.
During operation "Barbarossa", 41.Armee Korps (mot.) of the Army Group "North" was stopped by the Leningrad 1st defensive line on the heights of Duderhof. Hill 143 and hill 167 were fortified with trenches, bunkers, nests of machine guns and protected by an antitank ditch. On the 10th of September 1941, 36.Infanterie Division (mot) and 1.Panzer Division attacked the Russian defenses. Soviet army riposted by artillery fire and by counter-attacks made with KV-1 tanks just leaving the KIROV tank factory. In the evening, hill 143 was in German hands. On the 11th of September, the Germans seized Duderhof village, then hill 167. A German tank commander said in his radio set : "I see Saint-Petersbourg and the sea". The panzers were within 12 kilometers from Leningrad.
