“Ein anderer kalter Morgen” Colonel Thielemann mutters to himself as he mounts his trusty stead, a white-washed Pz IVg named “Anneliesa”. All along the roadside the elements of “Detachement Thielemann” begin to rev their once idling engines as their Colonel slides into the turret cupola. As he puts on his headset and pulls up the fur-lined collar of his tanker jacket to block the cold, he looks over at his gunner, Karl, who is hanging out of the side hatch of the turret. “Ivan ist nahe.” Thielemann says as the looks back out at the horizon. “Ich kann ihn riechen.” “Ja herr Oberst, leider.” Karl replies and slides back into the turret, pulling the hatch shut behind him with a sharp thud. The comment brings a smile to Thielemann’s face, numb as it is from the biting wind. He then turns and glances back at the assorted vehicles that make up his force and raises his right arm high into the air and then brings it down, pointing towards the horizon. “Vorwärts!” He says into the radio microphone. A second later “Anneliesa” jolts into gear and lurches forward…the treads crunching loudly into the frozen, snow covered ground…the engine roaring and belching a puff of white smoke. Like a snake startled from its cover, the column comes to life and begins to move forward. “Winter-Raserei fängt an.” Thielemann says softly to himself as his forces heads into harms way.
