    Thanks man. :)

    I've been here several times over the last few years.

    I'm looking for anything that may have the Russian view.

    I have also found a document about Estonian Forces int he area during the time period.

    Anyone else have info?

    You might like to get hold of Zhukov's Greatest Defeat: The Red Army's Epic Disaster In Operation Mars 1942 (ISBN: 071102748X // 978-0711027480) by David Glantz. A good book on a major battle that is little known due to it being overshadowed by it's twin offensive at Stalingrad - and as this book argues, Op Mars was meant to be the bigger offensive. Plenty of copies on Amazon.

    I have read this book.

    The Order of Battle section for the Velikiye Luki area is all that was in the book.
