    KRASNY OKTABYR-KLIUCHI, RUSSIA, 16 July 1943: Already exhausted by continuous weeks of what was now seen as a futile offensive, SSTK soldiers were demoralized by failure and fruitless sacrifices. To add to their dilemma, having already wired both bridges across the Psel River for demolition, they were confronted by an unrelenting enemy who continued his assault agains the forlorn bridgehead. All day on July 16th the weather had worsened. Torrential downpours made the roads impassable. The ability to shift resources to blunt enemy thrusts was greatly reduced. Around 0200 hours on July 16th two Russian infantry companies rose from gorges east of Veselyi and pierced the thin German lines near the wooded slopes of Hill 226.6. Only the timely arrival of a platoon of assault guns saved their kameraden from being overrun. Despite the shift in initiative, Ivan was once again forced back, and again heavy Russian losses were the order of the day. July 16th would see the last serious assault against the Psel River bridghead. The Germans finally evacuated to the south bank the following night. Ultimately, the fight for the Psel River bridgehead and sector had become a bloody and costly affair for the men of SS Totenkopf.

Includes 9 scenarios,
