WWII Lecture: Battle of Korsun Pocket - at Sanibel Library
WWII Lecture Encore Presentation: The Battle of Cherkassy (also known as the Korsun Pocket)
Virtually unknown in the English-speaking world, the Battle of Cherkassy (also known as the Korsun Pocket) still stirs controversy in both the former Soviet Union and in Germany. It was at Cherkassy that the last German offensive strength in the Ukraine was drained away, creating the conditions for the Soviet advance during the summer and autumn of 1944.
Duane E. Shaffer of Sanibel Public Library discusses the strategy and tactics of this battle.
This presentation is an encore of the same program on Friday, January 27.
The public is invited to this Library Program. There is no registration required and no additional cost to participate.
