General Rose of the 3rd Armored Division was the highest ranking American officer killed in action during World War 2. On March the 30th 1945, he was moving north towards Paderborn as part of Task Force Welborn. As they passed the castle of Hamborn the column was ambushed.

The enemy consisted of a platoon of Kingtiger heavy tanks of the 503rd Heavy tank bataillon, which were deployed to support infantry of SS Panzer-Brigade Westfalen. Having been driven off earlier by American air power, they now emerged from the woods and started to shoot up the American convoy from the flank. The terrain objectives are relatively insignificant: the goal is to take out American forces and the HQs, while sustaining as few casualties as possible.

General Rose was trapped between wrecks and a Tiger tank. Trying to surrender, he was shot to death by the tank commander. When asked about the cause of this war crime later, the German commander responded: "The devil was loose on that road."

Historical Scenario, designed to be played as the Germans. Note that there is already an older scenario depicting this action, however I believe that this take is the more historically correct one.
