Remember the Third Army Corps? In retrospect, was it a good idea to feed a fresh unit piecemeal into a retreat?
What became of those guys anyways?
>>61984859>was it a good ideaNo, but it was what they had. Kharkov wasn't a staggering display of incompetence of itself, it was all their previous incompetence coming back to bite them.>>61984864Abandooned, captured, killed, or split off into other units because there was nothing worth reconstituting left behind.
>>61984876>Kharkov disaster. How long until vatniks memoryhole that one?
>>61984885already did that as soon as the bridges were blown
>>61984859More like Third Army Corpse
>>61984859>Third Army Corps>Really a bunch of battalions But anyway…> was it a good idea to feed a fresh unit piecemeal into a retreat?Yes, but it wasn’t a good idea wasting good equipment on them, not until they got trained up anyway. Most of that shit got lost in the retreat.>>61984864The “army corps” was disbanded and the individual units got thrown into the other two corps.
>>61984859>We didn't need the Third Army Corps anyway.>>61984864>What became of those guys?I wouldn't worry about it.>>61984910>More like Third Army CorpseHappily spreading cholera & typhoid around to this day. With a touch of anthrax, even.
>>61984864Just..... deleted. Utterly deleted in the face of the Ukrainian momentum at the time.You had a new army, with jazzed up equipment, a PR campaign, a certain degree of trepidation from the West, notice of their deployment and then after a month it was just like now:"What *happened* to those guys"and the occasional photograph of a wreck with their insignia that looked like it had been there for twenty years. No troopers left. No residual organisational structure. No left over hardware or positions they are known for. The entire thing has a endpoint somewhere relatively soon after their first deployment.
>>61984885Over a year ago? The moment Solidar fell they collectively purged any memory of Kharkiv or Kherson from their consciousness.
