I guess I'll be reading 'Going Home' today to freshen my memory up on what's there.
One of the things I'm kinda curious about as I read this information is that the offensive began and was suppose to cross accross the Northern portion of Poland. The impression I've gotten from the books is that the XI Corps was spread from the Baltic coast to close to the central part of Poland. The 3rd German Army seems to have stayed along the Baltic, though from rereading this a couple of times, they may have launched more from the center since that seems to be where the bulk of the Soviet and Polish forces seem to have been placed in this region.
So I guess my question is, and why I was wondering if there was a map showing this offensive, if the 5th Div was the spearhead how did they get pushed so far south while everyone else stayed to the north, and what path did the 8th Div follow to get so far into the interior?
