The Kuban Bridgehead was a German military position on the Taman Peninsula, Russia, between the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea. Existing from January to October 1943, the bridgehead formed after the Germans were pushed out of the Caucasus. The heavily fortified position was intended as a staging area for the Wehrmach which was to be used to renew attacks towards the oil wells of the Caucasus. The bridgehead was abandoned when the Red Army breached the Panther Wotan line, forcing an evacuation of the German forces across the Crimea.
Following the encirclement of the 6th Army at Stalingrad, Army Group A withdrew towards the Black Sea and Crimea.The 17th Army, commanded by Richard Ruoff and Erwin Jaenecke, constructed a defensive position across the Kuban River delta in the Taman Peninsula, which was completed in January 1943. The main, first defense line started by Novorossiysk and ran roughly northwards all the way across the peninsula. Consisting of 5 defense lines, the total depth of the defense area was up to 60 km.German forces, moving from positions along the Terek River, fully occupied the new defensive network in February 1943 while under constant attack by the Red Army.The bridgehead, originally intended to provide a staging area for future attempts to gain control of the Caspian oil fields, was re tasked on 3 September 1943, as the German situation on the Eastern Front continued to deteriorate.The Kuban Bridgehead then served to evacuate German forces as the withdrawal of Army Group South to the Dnieper Line had become inevitable.
The first defenses of the Kuban Bridgehead were breached on September 15–16, 1943 in the area of Novorossiysk during the Novorossiysk Taman Operation of the SovietNorth Caucasian Front. The Taman Peninsula was completely cleared of German forces on 9 October 1943.he Abwehr and remnants of the others fought until 6 November 1943.

AFTER ACTION REPORTS
In the early morning in the mid September of the 1943, with the cover of the night Soviet forces attacked our camp. With most of the Company asleep we were cought by surprise but were quick to respond to the enemy attack.
Under fire from enemy T-34s and Soviets rushing our positions they almost took out our defense forces. When we repeled enemy attack we reorganized and established a quick reaction force to do a counter attack.
Our first objective was enemy mobile HQ that they established before they crossed the Kuban river. In the counter attack now we cought them by surpise with the 1st ZUG attacking from West and 2nd ZUG attacking from South.
Enemy HQ was quickly ran over, and we continued our push towards the town of Svetly. 1st ZUG established on the hill overlooking the town on the South, and 2nd ZUG was established on the East.
When our mortars hit the town and covered our approach with smokes, all units pushed to the town from their respective positions.
With close quarters combat in town our much better trained infantry had no problem with dealing with large number of enemies in the town and reinfocments coming from West.
When the battle finished much of the town was destroyed, we captured the Town Hall and took pictures for propaganda purposes.
Operation successful.
