Hi, Art, thank so much for those extreme detail on 5th Army OOB, many thank.
Is it considered a part of battle of Kiev as 5th Army was one of units encircled in Kiev cauldon ? Or they suffered heavily in Chernigov and then finally annhilated in another battle at Kiev with other three armies ? Thank.
