The west flank of the Korsun Salient, 120kms SE Kiev, January 26th 1944: Day two in the Russian effort to form a pocket at Korsun, but day one of the jump off attack for the 1st Ukrainian Front on the west side of the salient. The weather is lousy, so only limited air support is available, and artillery spotting is hampered. The plan calls for the 47th and 104th Rifle Corps to breach the line for the 6th Tank Army to rush through. But by noon it is apparent that the tanks will need to be committed if Marshall Vatutin's army is going to break the deadlock and meet Konev's forces driving up from the south east. [Size large]
