Most likely this action: The Polesskoe offensive was a Soviet offensive operation with the goal to strike deep into the flank and the rear of Army Group Center. It was part of a greater Dnieper-Carpathian strategic offensive on the right-bank Ukraine. The offensive started out successfully, with the Red Army forces penetrating the German defenses in depth and pushing them back towards the then Polish city of Kovel, a key town declared to be a fortress by the Germans, which was encircled by Soviet units on 18 March 1944. The German High Command, recognizing the danger to the rear of Army Group Center and the possible consequences of the fall of Kovel Garrison, took energetic measures to reinforce this sector. All told, between March-April 1944, the Germans transferred 9 divisions (including 2 panzer), 1 heavy panzer battalion and 2 StuG Assault Gun brigades from the main front of Army Group Center to its far right flank located deep in the rear of the army group, as well as 1 panzer division from Poland. A Kampfgruppe of the 5th SS-Panzer-Division Wiking under SS-Obersturmführer Karl Nicolussi-Leck, which consisted of 17 panthers and a bergepanther, along with an infantry battalion from SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment Germania, set out to save Kovel. After sustaining several losses, 7 panthers reached the Kovel defenders. On 4 April, more reinforcements arrived, breaking the encirclement. Thanks to these reinforcements, the Kovel Garrison was de-blockaded by the German relief forces on 5 April, with Soviet forces being pushed back to the outskirts of Kovel, after which the front-lines stabilized. The trapped German forces began to withdraw on 10 April.
@@hw97karbine Wonderful reply, thank you very much. I had thoughts that this footage would imply that the troops being resupplied managed to return with the footage, demonstrating a successful operation. I must hand it to those He-111 pilots and crew, they look absolutely spent, and then there's young boys loading up the pods. A lot to learn from watching this, thank you again.

wow, first seen He111 top turret that isn't fixced.
well spotted. I wonder how common it was.
This kind of power-operated turret could be commonly seen on the model H16 and afterward.
What is this? I ordered pizza!
Some people just don't realise how pathetically unfunny they are.
@@Jackdaw5 My condolences
I guess they already had enough food because they are airdropping ammunition.
Could be for propaganda. It might look worrying if people see them needing basic supplies.
@@mrdavies09 they can eat their leather belts before they get food ammo is more important no ammo no army.

Is there any information about this unit that was encircled or the fate of it?

Обеспечение войск в Корсунь- шевченском котле...Один из летчиков светился в кадрах Вахеншау 22 июня 41 года, когда бомбили аэродром в Киеве
And in 2022
That crew at 0:16 have seen some shit that’s for sure
Run home, men, the future is grim
Desperate measures.
Не-111 с пулемётными башнями!)
Germans using bombers to drop supplies while the Japanese used Destroyers as troop transports. I’d say they F’d up at some point.
Мда ..вид у летчика уставший ,нет той лихости как в 1941 ом
A biscut in a basket! Wundrebar.
Пучина под названием Россия поглотила их...
Thanks for telling us, none of us knew it👍
