Hube's "Cauldron." Proskurov-Chernivtsi Operation of 1944

In March 1944, the roads of the Right-Bank Ukraine turned into "directions" drowned in mud. However, the front was still rolling relentlessly westward. T-34s with 76-mm guns forced the technically superior battalions of "Tigers" and "Panthers" to retreat. The final chord was the encirclement of General Hube's 1st Tank Army near Kamenets-Podolsk. The number of encircled German troops amounted to about 200 thousand people. Nevertheless, Khube's army became a "wandering "cauldron" and "rolling "hedgehog" stubbornly pushed its way out of the encirclement... Who made the fatal decision to throw Katukov's tank army behind the Dniester? Why was the whole SS corps with 300 tanks withdrawn from Normandy shortly before D-Day? Whose ideas allowed Hubé's army to avoid a repeat of Stalingrad? How did the "fortress" of Tarnopol fall? Finally, why did the Führer remove Field Marshal Manstein from command right in the middle of the battle? With hundreds of unique photographs, this book by the leading author provides answers to these and many other questions.
