If you can read a map, you will see that the Ukrainian advance is far broader than was Peiper's isolated column. Also, in terms of relative strength, Peiper's column relative to American defenders was a pittance compared to the Ukrianian advance.

But if you want to predict that a massive Russian counterstroke is going to cut off and isolate all those Ukrainian brigades, hey, preach it openly so we can more easily mock you when you're wrong.

Again.

The Ukies will have to follow The Piano Directive, similar to the Fuhrer Directive.

Defend every bit of land taken, with no retreat.

Tactical victory, strategic blunder, under Zelenskyy Rules.

BTW - it's just over 72 hours since the first FR article was posted on the Kharkov incursion.

I'll be kind and not go back to your very recent Kherson posts and mock you.

You should read Hugh M. Cole's excellent Green Book The Ardennes: Battle of the Bulge

You can download the PDF for free at the US Army Center of Military History (https://history.army.mil/html/bookshelves/collect/usaww2.html), as you can with all the WWII Green Books.

The Devil Dogs are probably in the Pacific books.
