1.12 - The Halbe Pocket: April 30th

Busse’s breakout group reaches the final rendezvous point, and there, they prepare to make the final push towards the 12th Army’s lines. 

Meanwhile, the remaining 9th Army forces trapped in the Halbe Pocket are eliminated by the Soviets.

Map: Here is a map giving the approximate route the German 9th Army took between mid-April and early May 1945. The precise movements of all units within the army cannot be traced exactly, therefore this map only serves as a rough guide to help you follow the events covered in the series.
