Defence of Hill 105*
*
Date: November 19, 1942*
*
Battle Location: Don River region, southern Russia*
*
Battle Type: Germany defend vs USSR assault*
*
Description: The second battalion, Grenadier Regiment 673 had established itself along Hill 105, near the village of Logowskij and had originally expected to spend the coming future in these relatively comfortable positions on the steppe north of Stalingrad.*
*
However by November 1942 more and more the indications of a Soviet build-up began to worry the officers of the 673d. They felt not enough attention was being paid to the concentration of enemy forces. By November 10 some reinforcements, including a number of 5cm Pak guns, had been sent to bolster the defences. Come November 19, the Soviets struck with a furious assault and although the 673d initially managed to repulse the Soviet attack events would take a turn for the worse for the hapless troops of the 673d Regiment.*
