Field Marshal Erich Von Manstein and the Operational Art at the Battle of Kharkov.
Abstract
Field Marshal Erich von Manstein was one of Hitler's most competent generals. He was a master of maneuver warfare who orchestrated the counterattacks of Germany's Army Group South during the Winter Campaign of 1942-43. His bold decisive offensive operation led to the destruction of 52 Soviet divisions. His brilliant maneuver recaptured the key city of Kharkov and restored the German positions on the Eastern Front from a year earlier.
