1.6 - The Halbe Pocket: April 24th

The 9th Army is fully encircled by the Soviets in the Halbe Pocket, trapping thousands of men and civilians in an ever-shrinking cauldron of death and destruction.

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.
