1201_01a: Close Call at Kubinka [HTH] - PzC 14 Moscow '41

Kubinka, 60km southwest of Moscow, Dec 1st 1941: With the more moderate weather of the end of November behind them, General Kluges 4th Army was finally able to join the drive on Moscow. Right away, as the 292 Infantry Division began to cross the start lines with its neighbors it began to gain ground along the line north of Naro-Fominsk. Aided by elements of the 19th Panzer Division, the Germans broke the line in the sector held by the 222nd Rifle Division. They overran the divisional HQ taking the divisional commander prisoner. But the flanking divisions were slow to support the drive and in the face of even colder weather, the advance and exploitation of this promising drive quickly ground to a halt.
