Overview:
STAVKA was well aware that the German relief force which had been fighting its way toward Cholm since late January, but was snowbound for much of the winter, was now only a few short kilometers from reaching Cholm and lifting the 100 day old siege. Every effort was now focused on eradicating the Germans within the pocket before this unwanted outcome could occur. On 30 April the entire town of Cholm was subjected to an intense town-wide bombardment. At 0345 on 1 May, the barrage was repeated anew. At 0545 the Russians launched a two pronged simultaneous attack intended to wipe out the last of the defenders.Attacker: Russian (3rd Shock Army)
Defender: German (Kampfgruppe Scherer)
