****This is the none Winter version of Hell's Gate ~ Heaven's Gate :)

The original conversion by 355th Clan suffers from the dreaded MAX CHAR
So i converted the original [BBC] HG map into this 'summer' version

Thanks to [BBC]LastDemon for his help in removing the overturned vehicle that blocked the passage near the station

added a few more x models and deleted some trees on the periphery

History:
Hell's Gate - The Battle of Korsun-Cherkassy Pocket

The Battle of the Korsun-Cherkassy Pocket took place in the winter of 1944.
The battle was fought on the Eastern Front between the forces of the German Army Group South
and the Soviet 1st Ukrainian and 2nd Ukrainian Fronts.

In January 1944, the German forces of Field Marshal Erich von Mansteins Army Group South
including General Otto Whler's 8th Army had fallen back to the Panther-Wotan Line,
a defensive position along the Dniepr river in Ukraine

On 18 January, Manstein was proven prescient when General Nikolai Vatutins 1st
and General Ivan Konevs 2nd Ukrainian Fronts attacked the edges of the salient
and surrounded the two German corps.
The link-up on 28 January of 20th Guards Tank Brigade with 6th Tank Army of the First Ukrainian Front
at the village of Zvenigorodka completed the encirclement and created the cauldron or kessel
that became known as the Korsun-Cherkassy Pocket.

The geographic feature Hill 239 was occupied by Soviet T-34's of the 5th Guards Tank Army.
Despite energetic efforts to capture Hill 239 (in [BBC]'s Case Hill 269 ;) ) now from the inside of the cauldron,
the high ground remained in Soviet hands and had to be bypassed.
"As more and more units ran up against the impregnable tank barrier atop the ridge dominated by Hill 239.

By mid-day, the majority of the now intermingled divisions had reached the Gniloy Tikich stream,
turbulent and swollen by the melting snow. Despite the fact that 1st Panzer had captured a bridge,
and engineers had erected another, the panicking men saw the river as their only escape from the rampaging T-34s.
Since the main body was away from the bridgeheads, the last tanks, trucks and wagons were driven into the icy water,
trees were felled to form make-shift bridges and the troops floundered across as best as they could,
with hundreds of exhausted men drowning, being swept downstream with horses and military debris.
