	Wintergewitter, Winter Storm, la Bastogne italiana
		Operation Winter Storm (German: Unternehmen Wintergewitter), the small-scale German-Italian 1944 Christmas offensive on the Apennine Mountains in Italy, was the last meaningful feat of arms of the dying World War II Rome-Berlin Axis, and one of the last examples of the German tactical and operational mastery.
		In any event, the new Allied line was not tested: as previously decided, the Wintergewitter commanders shut the offensive down and withdrew their troops to more solid positions, just 1 - 2 km south of the December 26th start lines.
		Given the awful conditions under which the Axis units were operating in the Italian theater, and the disproportionate numbers and firepower, it's unthinkable they could achieve more than they historically did.

		The third limited attack, Operation ENCORE, was the result of a change in Allied operational strategy that eliminated the heavily fortified city of Bologna as a spring objective and, instead, focused on securing exits from the northern Apennines directly into the Po Valley itself.

		On August 18, 1939, in preparation for Operation Fall Weiß, the German invasion of Poland, he was appointed the Chief of Staff to Gerd von Rundstedt’s Army Group South.
		Set to launch on September 15, Hitler was confident that with considerable amounts of artillery and the new Tiger tank this would finally break the determined Soviet defense, but Manstein was more pessimistic, arguing that a simultaneous attack in the north by the Finns would be needed for victory.
		Wintergewitter, launched on December 12, achieved some initial success and von Manstein got his three panzer divisions and supporting units of the 57th Panzer Corps(comprised of the 23 Panzer Grenadier Division, and the 6 and 17 Panzer Divisions) to within 30 miles of the city by December 20.
