The Liberation of German Forces in Kovel

Huge congratulations to the relief force who attacked and liberated the city of Kovel which had been surrounded by the Soviet Army in mid-March 1944. The relief force consisted of elements from 5. SS Panzer Division Wiking, 4. Panzer-Division and 5. Panzer-Division, and 131. Infanterie-Division which together broke through the Soviet lines on 5 April 1944 and established a permanent linkup with the defenders in Fortress Kovel led by SS-Gruppenführer Herbert Otto Gille.
