In anticipation

Jakob,

Your post sent me straight to the bookshelf. I knoe I have a map but can't find the reference, really annoying! then I got called for dinner.

So far the only thing I can lay my hands on is Lost Victories by Erich von Manstein. On page 290 (map 15) there is a basic map, I will keep looking because I know I have a better one.

Peter.

Thank you. It's very nice of you. I have searched in many maps, but I have never found a map showing the Kuban bridgehead.
I don't have "lost victories", but it seems like I'll have to get it.

I'm looking forward to your next posting.

Kind regards
Jakob

Grüß Gott Jakob,

I should have some maps of this area....I think I even have an original German wartime map of the Kuban/Kaukasus region. The 4th Gebirgs "Enzian" Division was in the Kuban. I have a friend who is a Gebirgsjäger veteran from this division who was there.

Jakob,

It's my pleasure. If you let me know your e-mail address I will scan the map that I have (and the other one when I find it!!)

I was looking for the same thing this week. May I have a copy of that scan as well please.

Here is a sketch of the Kubanbrückenkopf from Julius Braun's book "Enzian und Edelweiß: Die 4. Gebirgsdivision 1940-45."

Here is an original German map of the Kaukasus-Kuban area. An interesting note about this map is that it is printed on the back of a Russian army map.

Apparently the fishing was rather good in this area too!

Now you see the real reason the Germans invaded the Soviet Union. They wanted all the caviar!

Dear sirs.

Thank you very much. It's very nice of you all to help me with this. I have searched a long time for this info.

I have saved the pics, and I'm looking forward to the email.

Thank you.

Kind regards
Jakob
