Re: german 200 battle campaign
The plan worked as described and 912 of the enemy were either killed or captured. We destroyed 9 enemy tanks. 2 of them is blose assault. the first Zug has made improvised AT-Weaponsmade out of grenade bundles and Obergefreiter Briels squad has already destroyed 3 tanks with theese.
the french infantry was no match for our own and since the attacked over a cornfield and a train station that didnt have much cover they suffered greatly from our mortars and field guns.
Near the end of the battle a french AA-Gun attacked one of the panzergrenadier scouts. but instead ofhitting it they took out all but one crewmebers of one of theirown 60mm mortars close by. That was some bad aiming.
After this incident they promptly surrendered. the whole battle tookonly around 1 and a half hour still the destruction was great. the cornfieldsin the north and the trainsation where full of fallen french soldiers and burning tank wrecks.
Unfortunatly a Platoon of soumoa Tanks escaped. But who knows what could have happened with theese tanksin the battle. Our own losses might have been much higher the only 9 men.
Still the fighting was heavy and the men are tired and low un supplies but we have to advance further the enemy is out of balance.
Intelligence says there is not mcuh between us and the french border anymore. Only the remains of a dutch infantry divison that was hit hardat the beginning of the assault on holland and has been pulled back for R&R. We will se how much fight they still have in them.
