SITUATION REPORT
Morning of
5th July 1943. The Russian outpost lines have been cleared by the preliminary
attacks and the 2nd SS Division’s attention now turns to the main
defence position anchored on the Village of Beresoff (Beresov) with the 3rd
Battalion of the 3rd SS Panzer Grenadier Regiment leading. Due to the poor going on the approaches the Tiger
Company and Sturmgeschutze battalion assigned to support the Grenadiers have
not arrived to support the attack.
In the
vicinity were M3 Stuarts of the 230th Tank Regiment deployed in a
security role.
The German
attack started at 0330 hours. To prepare the way, the village was subjected to
an Artillery preparation. This was then followed by an attack by Stukas.
As the
dust began to settle, the leading companies launched their assault. Soviet defensive artillery fire intensified
and a unit of M3 Stuarts carrying soviet Infantry launched a counterattack towards
the flank of the battalion companies.
The lead German company, seeing this, then launched its own desperate counterattack
with a platoon of grenadiers.
