Kharkov 1943

Once again your Waffen SS Corps is called to act as fire-brigade, mein commander... The Soviets have penetrated deeply the front, seizing Kharkov and menacing all the Ukraine. But this time Stavka has underestimated the power of the Waffen SS Army. Feldmarschall Von Manstein believes that pushing our best troops against the weak points of the soviet line will cause the failure of their offensive, allowing us even to retake Kharkov. You are to lead this decisive attack, commander. If we succeed in regaining the initiative, there will be for sure another great opportunity to reverse the tide of the eastern war.
