Narrow Escapes of World War II episode 13
Narrow Escapes of World War II episode 13: With their backs to the Dnieper River in January 1944, 60,000 German troops face encirclement by a larger Soviet force. After an airfield supplying the defenders falls to the Russians, their survival depends on rejoining the rest of the German army . They head for a narrow corridor flanked by Russian soldiers, tanks, artillery, and cavalry known thereafter as Hells Gate. This is the story of how Leon Degrelle together with a motley mixture of Finns, Estonians and fellow Belgians held off the might of the brilliant Russian General Marshal Georgiy Zhukov's army. 40,000 men would escape from the Red Army's grasp in a manoeuvre that became known as "the breakthrough at Hell's Gate." https://hdclump.com/narrow-escapes-of-world-war-ii-episode-13/
