Fall Blau (Clearing the Don Bend)

The pocket and counterattack of the 1st Tank Army before Kalach-na-Donu from 22July to 2 August 1942.

The German offensive begins to drive away the Soviets around Surovikino.

Surovikino is nearly surrounded as the Soviet defenders continue to pull back.

Running out of time, the Germans send out some of their best forces towards the bridgehead of Novogrigoryevskaya.

Just in time, the Germans capture the bridgehead and Surovikino for a Minor Victory.
