Hi
I had during research read a short description on the eastern front between 1943-1945 in which a German position in a town or city with a railyard was over run by Russian tanks and infantry and about 10 tiger tanks still on their rail cars being captured and German wounded soldiers in railcars that could not escape in time were killed by grenades being thrown into the rail cars by russian troops.
Would anyone know the name of this particular battle by any chance?

Whever we went, whatever we did, we quoted the songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgUhjWJVVCQ&t=199s
Re: Need help with identifying Soviet Battle
This was most likely a small action, so without more information (date, area, units involved and so on) there is little we can do.
Re: Need help with identifying Soviet Battle
