The SS Wiking division did not fight in the Courland Pocket, or anywhere near it. From what I know it was fighting in Poland when the pocket was formed, then continued to operate in Hungary and surrounding areas until the end of the war (It took part in Operation Konrad too, which might be interesting if you're looking to do a historical winter campaign). IIRC the only armoured divisions to be trapped in Courland were the 12th and 14th Panzer Divisions, though I'm not 100% certain.
