The Korsun’-Shevchenkovskii Operation, p. 24. It should be noted that the study presents this as a sign of excellence on behalf of the Soviet command. With hindsight, it turned out to be true. The Germans did eventually attack along this direction, but not until one week later. By then the Soviet forces had been moved back and forth to such an extent that the original dispositions were no longer recognizable.
