TARANOVKA, RUSSIA, 20 March 1943:
.
As Manstein delivered the “backhand blow” to Soviet forces at Kharkov, the Red Army was begining to develop tactics on par with their German counterparts. With the huge victory at Stalingrad to build upon, propaganda switched from politics to defense of the Motherland. So, too, would the morale of teh Soviet forces improve. This was nver more apparent than at the defense of the train station at Taranovka. A platoon of 25 soldiers from the 78th Guards Infantry Regiment, led by Lt. Piotr Shironin, banded together to hold off numerous assaults by panzers and supporting infantry.
