I used the code name Operation Fredric for Herman's Terd Armee's part of the spring offensive, and the Red Devils were given the mission not to get to Lodz, but secure the coal fields at Konen. Fredric was a Prussian after all and the operation really was going from west Prussia to east Prussia. Just a thought. What the over all opeation would have been called, I have no idea, but the Ancient Mariner is as good as any.. but perhaps it should be called Operation Cluster Fk...

The overall plan was very good and, if the Soviets didn't have Ploesti, it would have worked very well.
What the Nato commanders did not, and simply could not, take into account was the rapid speed at which Pact reinforcements could be brought up. Running on alcohol as Nato where, it should have taken weeks, even months for the Soviets to bring up the units back in the Ukraine and elsewhere. In that time the rest of the German III Army as well as British II Corp would have reinforced US XI Corp and been well prepared to fend off the counter attack while also applying pressure along the German-Poland border and the Pact troops there. It may not have been a war wining offensive, but it had the potential to inflict a very serious and possibly fatal defeat on the enemy by encircling and eliminating a large number of Pact divisions in western Poland.
