In February 1944, Generaloberst Hube led 1st Panzer Army in a critical rescue mission in the Korsun Pocket. Despite initial success, the operation depleted Hube's forces and left them vulnerable. Unexpectedly, 1st Ukrainian Front and 2nd Ukrainian Front, under Zhukov and Konev, launched a joint attack on March 4th, trapping 1st Panzer Army in a pincer movement. After three weeks, Hube's 200,000 soldiers were surrounded and forced to retreat to the Dniester River. Although they escaped Zhukov's trap, the army suffered heavy casualties and lacked necessary equipment for future battles. This event weakened the German Army in the East and limited their ability to defend against potential Allied landings in France. Author Robert Forczyk offers a thorough examination of the Soviet encirclement.
