German newsreel with English subtext.  Scenes of SS Viking opening operations to relieve Kamaraden trapped in Kowel during Soviet Poles'e Offensive, Galicia, March 44

German propaganda "documentary" regarding Kovel.  Some great shots of unusual equipment.
Trying to locate maps and references for Kovel.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Fascinating presentation by Greg Liedtke, lecturer, Royal Military College-Canada, to the 2008 Conference of Defence Associations Institute (CDAI) Graduate Student Symposium.  This well argued abstract challenges much conventional wisdom regarding the capabilities of the Wehrmacht subsequent to Operation Citadel.  Although published in the July 2008 edition of the Journal for Slavic Military Studies, the abstract is accessible from the CDAI web site at:

Well worth discussing for all serious students of the titanic conflict between the Wehrmacht and the Red Army.  Might be worth archiving while it is currently available from CDAI.

Very   !  Any additional info regarding specific unit(s), actions and citations (awards) would be great.
