About the Book

L'eccezionale fatto d'armi del Kampfgruppe Scherer fu uno dei successi militari più noti della Wehrmacht durante la Seconda guerra mondiale. Con solo poche migliaia di uomini provenienti da ogni specialità, tra cui Gebirgsjäger, anziani riservisti, membri della Polizei, autieri della Kriegsmarine, Jagdkommando antipartigiani, personale tecnico della Luftwaffe e truppe della logistica e rifornimenti, al Generale Theodor Scherer fu ordinato di tenere la cruciale cittadina di Cholm di fronte alle superiori forze dell'Armata Rossa che l'avevano accerchiata nel gennaio 1942. Nei mesi successivi, gli uomini del suo Kampfgrupperiuscirono a portare a termine questa missione, combattendo per 105 giorni contro i continui attacchi di fanteria e corazzati sovietici, contro le temperature glaciali dell'inverno russo e contro il fango del disgelo primaverile, e contro la cronica mancanza di rifornimenti - solo in parte compensata dagli aviolanci della Luftwaffe - sino a quando un attacco di soccorso tedesco riuscì a liberarli dall'accerchiamento il 5 maggio 1942. Dopo il catastrofico inverno del 1941-1942, il Generale Scherer e i suoi soldati furono lodati come eroi e riconosciuti con il famoso scudetto da braccio che li contrassegnò come Cholmkämpfer, ossia "Combattenti di Cholm", uomini di eccezionale coraggio che avevano prevalso nonostante le schiaccianti circostanze avverse.

La prima sezione del presente libro propone un approfondimento storico sulla battaglia di Cholm attraverso due saggi di James Lucas e di Stijn David e Sebastián Bianchi, opportunamente integrati e rivisti dal curatore, e una analisi delle serie fotografiche scattate dal corrispondente di guerra Richard Muck, aviotrasportato nella sacca il 5 marzo 1942 e lì presente sino alla fine dell'accerchiamento, la sezione seguente riproduce le fotografie del raro libro Kampfgruppe Scherer - 105 Tage eingeschlossen, riunente una selezione delle foto di Richard Muck, e pubblicato in Germania nel 1943. Le didascalie delle foto sono pertanto quelle originali; si è solo provveduto a inserire quando possibile i nomi per esteso dei militari fotografati, solitamente identificati da Muck con le sole iniziali del cognome, e a annotarle se necessario per illustrare al lettore luoghi o circostanze relative alle fotografie che non fossero già state esposte nella sezione precedente. In appendice vi è poi un ordine di battaglia completo delle forze tedesche presenti nella sacca e giunte in seguito via aviotrasporto.
