Thanks aercdr!

My primary interest is detailed battle histories from the perspective of battalion, company, and platoon commanders. That being the case would you recommend "Hell's Gate"?

Given the scope I'm sure Hell's Gate can't focus for too long on any one fight at those levels. But for wargaming purposes I don't find isolated anecdotes these command levels very useful. But even if the book includes only brief but complete descriptions of fights at these levels it might be useful.

HELL'S GATE

Hell's Gate

The Battle of the Cherkassy Pocket, January to February 1944

Douglas E. Nash

Virtually unknown in the English-speaking world, the Battle of Cherkassy (also known as the Korsun Pocket) still stirs controversy in both the former Soviet Union and in Germany. It was at Cherkassy where the last German offensive strength in the Ukraine was drained away.

Hell's Gate is a riveting hour-by-hour and day-by-day account of this desperate struggle, analyzed on a tactical level through maps and military transcripts, as well as on a personal level, through the words of the enlisted men and officers were there.
