Virtually unknown in the English-speaking world the Battle of Cherkassy (also known as the Korsun Pocket) still stirs controversy in both the former Soviet Union & in Germany. It was at Cherkassy that the last German offensive strength in the Ukraine was drained away creating the conditions for the victorious Soviet advance into Poland Rumania & the Balkans during the summer & autumn of 1944. Eclipsed by a war of such gigantic proportions that saw the deaths of over one million men or more as commonplace the events which occurred along the banks of the Gniloy Tickich river should have faded into obscurity.
