The Kholm Pocket

The Kholm Pocket was the name given for the encirclement of German troops by the Red Army around Kholm south of Leningrad, during World War II on the Eastern Front, from 23 January 1942 until 5 May 1942. At the small Kholm pocket, 5,500 German soldiers held it for 105 days. The pocket was supplied by air, but was too small for planes to land; therefore, supplies had to be dropped in and recovered by the German defenders. German forces made three attempts to relieve the pocket, in January, March and May 1942. Now it's up to, to break the defence of the german pocket and bring victory to mother russia or defend yourself in the pocket and wait for help from the outside and bring victory to the german fatherland.
