1.14 - The Halbe Pocket: May 2nd - May 7th

The combined 9th & 12th armies, along with thousands of
German refugees, march towards the Elbe in order to cross the
river and surrender to the Americans at Tangermünde. 


The Soviets will stop at nothing to prevent them from
escaping…

Map: Here is a map giving the approximate route
the German 9th Army took between mid-April and early May 1945.
The precise movements of all units within the army cannot be
traced exactly, therefore this map only serves as a rough guide
to help you follow the events covered in the series.
