The Tallinn Offensive is underway this time as the Red Army reconquers Estonia. Schörner orders Army Group North to fall back towards Courland, and Raus's Third Panzer Army has all it's panzers taken away. The Estonians also declare independence, but are ultimately crushed by the Soviets. So yes, there's a lot going on this time, and Army Group North is getting closer to being trapped in the Courland Pocket.

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.
