Uraah! Jan 2nd, 1942 The blitzkriege into Russia has ended. Now shivering in the cold, the men of the 74th Infantry Regiment held a thin line in the Russian Front. All hope of a quiet winter was shattered as a hail of artillery fire fell upon them. In minutes the clanking sound of oncoming T-34's would signal the start of the Russian Winter Counter Offensive. Hoping to slow down the Soviets long enough till reinforcements arrived, the Germans opened up on them. With a loud "Uraah!" the Siberians of the 63rd Division surged forward, the battle had commenced.
