RE: Tank Graveyard at Minsk-AAR
Soviet armored attacks have slowed as I have been able to regroup and bring up reinforcements to counter the vicious and suicidal attacks. The remaining 2 tanks from the Soviet T34-M43 plt which had been engaged by PZIV's disappeared when they where engaged and eliminated by a flight of Stuka's from Erich Rudel's Immelmann squadron. I'll have to learn if it was not Rudel himself that helped us today and send him some captured Russian cavier and champagne.
Meanwhile the Soviet tanks which had advanced S from Hill 290 where engaged by several Panther plts from the I Battalion. A total of 2 more T34-M43's as well as 1 T34-M41 where destroyed. A Puma unit, lying in cover, engaged and destroyed another T34-M41, before retreating back within our lines. From the W, a PZIVH plt engaged another T34-M41 plt with excellant view of its rear and brewed up 2 more. Several JS and T34 plts where observed heading W, NW from Hill 290. This will require some observation and caution.
