	Erich von Manstein
		As the SS “Viking” Panzer Grenadier Division arrived from across the Don, it was thrown in against Popov's Mobile Group at Grishino.
		But this particular SS division had some difficulty in dealing with the Russians because of its weakened condition from recent heavy fighting and the fact that it was suffering from a shortage of officers who had the language skills necessary to command the division's SS volunteers from the Baltic and Nordic countries.
		Accordingly, the SS Panzer Corps was to employ its eastern wing to cut the Kharkov-Chuguyev road while the city was to be attacked from the northeast and sealed off from the west.
