Stalin had three armies of shock troops advance and directed them precisely into the backbone of Army Group Center, which appeared to have been driven out of it positions after a few days. This brilliant plan was opposed by a few fixed positions and resistance groups. One of them was Cholm (then still in Army Group North's position), which held out under Generalmajor Scherer for 104 days. Velish and Toropez, Demidov and Vitebsk, Novosokolniki and Vilikiye Luki also held out against a vastly superior war machine and brought the waves of Soviet tanks to a standstill. In Deadlock Before Moscow, renowned military historian Franz Kurowski uses eyewitness accounts and war diaries to explain for the first time these mighty, often unbelievable deeds. that unfold before the reader with all their gripping drama. In the bitter cold of winter, fighting took place at fixed positions that many who experienced the war in Russia will agree was the bitterest, hardest, most merciless of all. Without sufficient winter clothing, with truck and tank engines freezing again and again, with their bread glistening with frost, not knowing whether they would survive another night in the open, often surrounded by partisans, encircled, breaking loose again ~ this was the fate of the battle groups and units when the Red Army tried to destroy them.…

One of these events, the attempt of the Red Army to cut off and destroy the panzer formations far advanced before Moscow, is little known.
In January 1942, when the 3rd, 4th, and 22nd Soviet Shock armies set out from the Army Group North area to the south and attacked Kholm, Toropets, Demidov, Vitebsk, and Belikie Luki, in order to roll over the rear area services approximately 160 kilometers behind the front and the strong point-like positions and cut off the main body of Army Group Center from its supply of weapons and soldiers, the Eastern Campaign appeared to be lost.
The renewed major offensive of the Red Army, which began in November 1942, found these troops―hopelessly opposing massed enemy formations―in a battle to the bitter end. This is especially shown in Velikie Luki, where the defensive strength of 7,500 German soldiers fought to the end paid for with their own lives. Only a handful of soldiers escaped from this inferno.
Never before has such detail on this aspect of the Russian front campaign been available in English.
