Kurland held out till the German surrender. 220,000 German and Baltic forces were captured. 5th SS wiking fought in the area.
So the only option from here it seems is to purchase a book. |
Very good Friewillige. Perhaps we could move the time frame back to 1943
and start with the Leningrad front and maybe the Heavy Tank Battalion 502.
They had Tiger Es and also fought in winter campaigns. This would still
be a challenge for accurate research but could be a starter for the retreat
of Army Group North witch as you know fought in Kurland.
