Hi folks,

Been a LONG time since I've posted in here. As I anxiously await the

release of "Red Thunder", I've been doing some web surfing, and

came across the following "treasure":

D-192 21.ID defence of Volkhov to Pskov Jan 1944

You can get all the PAM series of booklets from here:

Hi Old Fritz,

My apologies for the reposting. I plead guilty to not doing a forum search prior to beginning a new thread.

Thanks a TON for all the information in your reply. I can see I've got a LOT

of reading to do.
