Operation Vogelsang was a German operation against soviet partisans during World War II. It inflicted heavy casualties on the partisans and forced them to go underground. It was also the first major operation that involved the RONA.
Operation
The Operation begun on 5 July 1942, it's objective was to destroy the soviet partisans operating in the region of Bryansk and Roslavl, threatening the lines of communication to Günther von Kluge's Heeresgruppe. The German forces included: one Panzer regiment and two infantry regiments.
The victory was greatly overexaggerated by the German forces, remaining partisans retreated underground and reappered after the operation ended.
The operation is considered to be the moment Kaminski's influence was at its peak.
