it seemed to us that the russians did not have as much experience in high-mountain warfare as our jaeger battalion involved here. one of my officers climbed the rocky wall with a walkie-talkie and settled there so high that he could almost look at the russians in their soup pot, count the enemy’s heads and spend hours adjusting the fire of the batteries from his cozy nest. participant in battles, captain alexander with bitterness.

don’t let the regiment in, the passes are narrow, the passes are terribly inconvenient, plus the defending troops know the terrain, that is, the problems are very large, and as soon as operation delweiss , which meant taking control of the main caucasian ridge, it generally failed, yes, they took the brain, they took everything, but there was simply no way out on the operational front, then it was decided to strike at novorossiysk. that is, this is a deviation from the main attack, but in the event of the capture of novorossiysk, a route along the coast to batumi opens, which compensates for the fact that the passes of the caucasian ridge are shut up. novorossiysk is a key city, it’s not for nothing that even during the existence of our main base, back in the soviet union in sevastopol, there was also a very significant military unit there, part of this navy, which was based there because in russia. despite its

very unfortunate geographical position in terms of the winds and storms that occur there and not very deep bays, it has an important geopolitical position, geographical location, because it actually allows you to control the entire northern black sea coast and the sea of ​​azov, which very important, so their attack in these directions was absolutely natural. on september 7, 1942, the germans broke through to the northern outskirts of novorossiysk and entered the city. general evdokim maltsev recalled. the picture turned out to be generally unsightly. i didn’t feel the commander’s firm hand. the branches of the military acted essentially on their own. the headquarters had no contact with many units. the fighters fought heroically against the advancing enemy, but there was no relationship between them. there was no single and clear defense plan. there were reserves spent. on september 9, the wehrmacht occupied

most of the western regions of novorossiysk. soviet troops retreated to the eastern shore of tsimes bay. the last line of defense. october and the proletarian passed by the walls of the cement factories. german troops stormed it, regardless of losses. in one of the freight cars that blocked the path of the nazis, 10,000 bullet holes would later be counted. there was not a single intact tree left in the area, but the germans were unable to go beyond this line . upon learning of the failure of the offensive, hitler dismissed welgelmalist. from the command of army group a: absolutely soberly, absolutely clearly, having determined the situation that is developing in the caucasus, he absolutely clearly reports to headquarters: the offensive must be stopped immediately, we must take the positions we are in, because

if we go there now , where we are going, a partisan movement will begin in our rear , as in the balkans, they will begin to hit us along routes that we cannot cover, our...

speaking about the peoples of the caucasus, he wrote: “the delimitation of these tribes of nationalities between would have made it easier for the german command to dominate them. even before the outbreak of world war ii, german intelligence services established

close ties with political immigrants from transcaucasia. in 1941 , armenian, azerbaijani and georgian were formed from them. legions, they wore wehrmacht uniforms with special stripes. in total, during the war years, about 100,000 people joined these formations. in the occupied territories of the north caucasus, the germans launched a powerful propaganda campaign. for locals in germany five newspapers were published in national languages. special organizations were also created, such as the north caucasian national committee. who, under the control of the abwehr , was engaged in the killing of local residents. in august 1942 , the volga-tatar and north caucasus legions were formed from among muslim prisoners of war, which the germans sent to fight in france, holland and

italy. according to official soviet data, in the period from 1941 to 1943, in the territory.

those who survived would be allowed to return to their homeland only in the late fifties. during during the great patriotic war , there were over 2 million natives of the caucasus in the ranks of the red army. the mountaineers fought the nazis on all fronts, from the black sea to the baltic. some went to war with their entire families. the whole country knew about the feat of the seven gazdanov brothers from the ossetian village of dzuarikau. the brothers were not destined to return home. their parents, asakhmat and tasso gazdanov, could not survive this grief. the mother's heart stopped after the third funeral.

the brothers' father died on the doorstep of the house, having received news of the death of the last seventh son. during the german occupation , about 200 partisan detachments operated in the caucasus. in chechnya alone , 18,000 volunteers signed up for the people's militia. in azerbaijan , tens of kilograms of gold and almost a ton of silver were collected for the needs of the army. hundreds of thousands of caucasians built defensive lines. in the fall of 1942, they dug 660 km of ditches, which is approximately half of the total length of the caucasus mountains. by the end of october 1942.

a direct road to the capital of transcaucasia, teflis, opens before the victorious german army. concentrated in gesela 150 tanks, the germans tried to break through to the center of ardzhanikidze. reserves from the northern group of troops were sent to meet them. our units constantly launched counterattacks. it was here that the twenty-four-year-old junior sergeant of the nkvd regiment, pyotr barbashov, accomplished his feat. during one of the attacks , our soldiers were forced to lie down under heavy machine-gun fire from an enemy pillbox.

borbashov crawled to the enemy firing point and covered the embrasure with his body. as a result , the line was in our hands. during the battles for gisel, the advanced german units suffered huge losses and were forced to retreat. in one of the reports, wehrmacht general mackensen wrote: “a four-day battle.” gisel ended in the complete defeat of the third panzer corps. the persecution of our troops continues. the soviet command was able to concentrate the required number of troops, pull them up, and take advantage of the terrain and terrain conditions. at the same time, the germans, as always, had very stretched lines of communication. they didn't get the oil. and what is most important, the germans did not receive a warehouse. because the goal of kleist, when he beat parzhinikz, was to capture the clan of fuel,

he was running out of it, and the german command, this is the flaw in the planning of the german command, it was already then, which later in the year forty-four would be everywhere, planning an operation with counting on fuel that would be captured from the enemy, which in itself was nonsense, he was also present here. suved soldiers take the strength to fight well, pay attention to how stubborn

the battle they withstand, there are already few of them, but how they they are still strong in spirit, they are confident in their victory. yes, these are excellent soldiers, real warriors. in the caucasian direction, the germans are starting to have very big problems with the fact that they absolutely do not have enough troops. the distances are large, even if there are not very many soviet troops, but... there are not enough of our own troops, plus the difficult terrain, difficult landscape. the german troops fell into a trap that was known from the beginning, that is, when advancing to the caucasus, it turned out like this elongated one. forward section of the front is a huge wedge, and for in order to supply that group, it was necessary to supply ammunition, fuel, everything had to be supplied from the very rear, and this is, well , almost impossible to support the group. in january 1943, german troops suffered a heavy defeat at stalingrad;

hitler no longer had reserves to hold the caucasus. soviet troops. went on the offensive along the entire front. within a week , mozdok, petigorsk, krasnodar, cherkessk, stavropol and armavir were liberated. nazi flags were dropped from the top of elbrus. division officer edelweiss, adolf von ernsthausen, wrote: “unheard-of tension reigned in our camp. we were oppressed by the understanding that this enterprise, which had begun.

in february 1943, the liberation of novorossiysk began. soviet paratroopers landed on the western coast of tsimes bay. they managed to recapture a small piece of land with an area of ​​28 km. the marines nicknamed it little land. they held this bridgehead for 225 days.

kleist managed to withdraw army group a from the caucasus, this was generally even appreciated by hitler. hitler, in principle, never did not encourage anyone to withdraw troops. admit it, but he withdrew his first tank army, and other troops as well. and so kleist received the title of felix marshal in february 1943. that is, the man received the title of general fred marshall, in fact, because he was able to lead the group out. this group a , which actually carried out the attack on the caucasus, was, of course, very battered, but not defeated , it was not possible to completely defeat this combat-ready german fist, but nevertheless we can take this into account to say that a very long, difficult, very bloody battle for the caucasus ended in our victory, because we liberated all

the occupied territories, we did not let them, most importantly, seize the oil fields, not even in mozdok. not in grozny, especially in baku, and we, most importantly, did not let them take stalingrad. the defeat of the wehrmacht in the caucasus put an end to hitler's strategic dreams. without new volumes of oil, germany could no longer conduct large offensive operations. its allies turkey and japan finally abandoned plans to attack the soviet union. german general.

which were before the start of the company, that is , the company, the entire company of the forty-second year turned out to be a failure, if the annual wehrmacht company failed. this means that this is a fracture. in the battle for the caucasus, 276 thousand soviet soldiers and officers died. in 1944

, a medal for the defense of the caucasus was established. it was awarded to 870 thousand people. about 300 natives of the caucasus for the caucasus were awarded the title of hero of the soviet union. caucasus, molgobek, nalchik, tuabse and anapol, subsequently awarded the title of city military glory, and novorossiysk, the city of a hero. the day of the defeat of german troops in the caucasus, october 9, in 2020 was declared the day of military glory of russia.
