yes, one.

[Bando]

Tatchinskaya?

[Sokol1]

Yes,

 

Dione > moon  of Saturn > "Little Saturn" > Badanov tank raid - behind enemy lines - against German airfield on Tatsinskaya.

 

 

If one want fly "re-supply" missions, is ~ 40/45 minutes of flight to Stalingrad (@ 350 KM/H).

Never knew of this battle.

Staggering numbers though.

Over 300 planes lost by the Germans and some 200 tanks lost by the Russians.

 

This sim makes one dig into the eastern front. I hope you'll excuse my ignorance, but all I ever knew was the western front and the occupation of my homeland (Holland).

I never really digged into the eastern front.

Reading more and more about it, the numbers are dazzling. It looks (to me) the war in Russia was at a larger scale than anything on the western front combined. Don't know if it's true, but, man those numbers, and the enormous scale of the landmass in Russia.... wow.
