Tigers in the Mud - Eastern Front Stand at the Panther Line: An all new take on the classic Ostfront battle with remastered, ENLARGED MAP that makes this a one-of a kind experience with armor, armor and did we mention armor? By early 1944, Army Group North held a front that bore the marks of previous battles; a long line built around Leningrad. Of course, STAVKA’s Baltic Front planners were determined to break the hold and finally free the city. 1943 ended with Army Group North facing the Russian Third Shock Army. Fighting had continued unabated through a muddy fall, and on into the month of December. Although the Germans had successfully held their front, the fighting power of Armee Gruppe Nord had been greatly reduced. The dead and wounded landsers were replaced by Latvian, Estonian, and Spanish soldiers. When OKW pulled the 5th Mountain Division out of the line, without a replacement, the time had come for a shortening of the front. The result became known as the ‘Panther Line’.
