Trying to look for stuff on Kuban for dbf.
Rather than clutter up her Gebirgs Div thread I though I'd start a new one on the Kuban fighting.

Start with this bit of German film.

Und heir ist ein Ärmelschild Kuban
Ärmelschild "Kuban"

http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/de%5E941eu.html#kus A link to a Flag relating to Kuban Volunteers serving in the German Armed Forces

http://lend-lease.airforce.ru/english/articles/spit/index.htm An article relating to the Russians use of Spitfires in the Kuban area. They shot down 30 German aircraft for the loss of 7 aircraft and 3 pilots. They appear to be the “Vb” type.

If the front is broken through at one point all the rest will collapse."* - General Heinz Guderian "With amazement and disappointment, we discovered in late October and early November that the beaten Russians seemed quite unaware that as a military force they had almost ceased to exist." - General Blumentritt "In all my years as a soldier, I have never seen me fight so hard." Lieutenant General Wilhelm Bittrich - Commander of II SS Panzer Korps - (Commenting on the British Paratroopers at Arnhem) - September 1944 "Had Clark given more heed to Juin's views...the savage battles of Cassino would probably never have been fought and the venerable house of St Benedict would have been unscathed" Rudolf Böhmler - 1st Fallschirmjäger Division - 1944 (After the bombing of Monte Cassino)
