In January 1942, in the northern section of the Eastern Front, at Lake Ilmen, the German 16th Army fought with the Soviet 11th Army under Morozov for possession of the strategically important town of Staraya Russa. The legendary "Blue Division" with its Ski Hunter Company 250 fought in this town, which has been unjustly neglected by military historians. This book not only outlines the strategic framework of the battle - also from the Soviet point of view - but also describes the tragic human fates that lay behind the military events.
