I found a very interesting and informative Slovak website here:

The above link is to just one article of the war in SK.
I have completed 8 missions for the campaign I'm working on. These can be flown in La-5FN or IL-2 type 3.
Until now, I have had only very short descriptions of the Battle and so I had to recreate it in my mind as to how the events took place... Until today when I found the above mentioned website. It helps to google!
The missions I've made so far have actually come close to what actually happened! it's funny how you can look at the terrain on a map and see which defensive positions the Germans may have used. I've made ground battles for Strba, Hradok, and Okolicne... same events that actually happened!
BUT... The Red Army forces in these battles actually had NO air force to help them and NO armor. And the Germans, I believe, had not much armor.
I have made missions with many airplanes and armor battles so this is not historical but it does add to the "playability" in the IL2 sim.
I will need to go back and adjust some things like front line markers but it won't be too much trouble.
