FESTUNG BREST
September 1944.
The Battle for Brest was one of the fiercest battles fought on the Western Front during World War II. Part of the Allied
plan for the invasion of mainland Europe called for the capture of port facilities, in order to ensure the timely delivery
of the enormous amount of war materiel required to supply the invading Allied forces.
Brest was surrounded and eventually stormed by the U.S. VIII Corps. The fight proved extremely difficult, as the German
garrison was well entrenched and partially made up of elite Fallschirmjäger (paratroopers) forces.

rico21 -> TITO's Birthday (8/26/2016 6:06:07 PM)

TITO's Birthday
25 May 1944.
Operation Rösselsprung (Knight's move) was a combined airborne and ground assault by the German XV Mountain Corps
and their allies on the Supreme Headquarters of the Yugoslav Partisans located in the Bosnian town of Drvar in
the Independent State of Croatia during World War II. The operation was launched on 25 May 1944, and was aimed
at capturing or killing Marshal Josip Broz Tito and destroying the headquarters, support facilities and
co-located Allied military missions. It is associated with the Seventh Enemy Offensive (Serbo-Croatian: Sedma
neprijateljska ofenziva) in Yugoslav history. The airborne assault itself is also known as the Raid on Drvar
(Serbo-Croatian: Desant na Drvar).
Operation Rösselsprung was a coup de main operation, involving direct action by a combined parachute and
glider-borne assault by the 500th SS Parachute Battalion and a planned subsequent link-up with ground forces of
the XV Mountain Corps converging on Drvar. The airborne assault was preceded by heavy bombing of the town by the
Luftwaffe. The ground forces included Home Guard forces of the Independent State of Croatia.
Tito, his principal headquarters staff and the Allied military personnel escaped, despite their presence in Drvar
at the time of the airborne assault. The operation failed due to a number of factors, including Partisan resistance
in the town itself and along the approaches to Drvar. The failure of the various German intelligence agencies to
share the limited intelligence available on Tito's exact location and the lack of contingency planning by the
commander of the German airborne force also contributed to the unsuccessful outcome for the Germans.

In the morning, one of two Panther withdrew to refuel leaving the other alone ensure the whole of the defensive
situation. The day had dawned a long time, when out of the depression, the Russian tanks and infantry charged
the panther. Shot after shot, the threat was rejected and the second Panther came back into position. An infantry
battalion supported by four assault guns under the cover of a cornfield also tried their luck and suffered the same
fate. Both tanks defending the south of the city had broken two armored and two infantry attacks .

rico21 -> Pursuit from State Farm 158 (9/1/2016 3:21:11 PM)

Pursuit from State Farm 158

General Situation: Near Zmiyev, Outside State Farm 158, May 1943 Today's earlier operation to clear State Farm 158
went well enough, except that the Russians were able to escape destruction by retreating into a tangle of balkas
and hills northeast of the State Farm. Unfortunately, it also appears that they have received reinforcements.
Hence, reinforced Panzer Grenadiers that earlier cleared the State Farm will redeploy and eliminate all Soviet
units that have taken refuge in the large balka and on the two overlooking hills.

German Orders: Clear out the Balka and take the hills.

Soviet Orders: Hold the territory against German incursions.

Big Ivan -> A Grim Reminder (9/4/2016 7:04:10 PM)

Rico, this one is dedicated to you.

A Grim Reminder: 6th April, 1944, Near Village of Tsvetovo, Western Ukraine, 4km SW of Buchach.

History: In the western Ukraine the Germans were still trying to form a cohesive line after the defeat at Korsun and subsequent
encirclement and breakout of 1st Panzer Army at Buchach. Relentlessly the Soviets kept up the pressure all along the front,
never giving the Germans a break to regroup and build defenses. Near the village of Tsvetovo in the western Ukraine the situation
became critical as the Soviets mauled two regiments of the German 123rd Infantry Division 6km south of there and broke through
into the rear areas of AG South's left flank. The only elements available to restore the situation were troops of the
114th Panzergrenadier Regiment supported by tanks and assault guns of the 10th SS Panzer moving in from the northeast.
Soon they would lock horns with elements of the Soviet 70th Mechanized Brigade holding Buchach and the outskirts of Tsvetovo.
It was a "Grim Reminder of the shape of things to come for the German Army in the east.

Units:
German: Squads, 1/2 Squads, LMG, HMG, Demo Charge, PF, AFV, OBA
Russian: Squads, 1/2 Squads, LMG, HMG, Light MTR, Ordnance, OBA, AFV
Map: Up Direction is South, Six maps, (2x3).

Terrain: Rural with Ponds, Hills, Woods and Town areas.

rico21 -> Bay of Pigs Invasion (9/8/2016 4:23:36 PM)

Bay of Pigs Invasion
17 April 1961
The Bay of Pigs Invasion (Spanish: Invasión de Playa Girón or Invasión de Bahía de Cochinos or Batalla de Girón) was
a failed military invasion of Cuba undertaken by the CIA-sponsored paramilitary group Brigade 2506 on 17 April 1961.
A counter-revolutionary military, trained and funded by the United States government's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA),
Brigade 2506 fronted the armed wing of the Democratic Revolutionary Front (DRF) and intended to overthrow the
increasingly communist government of Fidel Castro. Launched from Guatemala & Nicaragua, the invading force was defeated
within three days by the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces, under the direct command of Prime Minister Fidel Castro.
Over 1,400 paramilitaries, divided into five infantry battalions and one paratrooper battalion, assembled in Guatemala
before setting out for Cuba by boat on 13 April 1961. Two days later on 15 April, eight CIA-supplied B-26 bombers
attacked Cuban airfields and then returned to the US. On the night of 16 April, the main invasion landed at a beach named
Playa Girón in the Bay of Pigs. It initially overwhelmed a local revolutionary militia. The Cuban Army's counter-offensive
was led by José Ramón Fernández, before Castro decided to take personal control of the operation. As the US involvement
became apparent to the world, Kennedy decided against providing further air cover for the invasion. As a result, the
invasion only had half the forces the CIA had deemed necessary. The original plan devised during Eisenhower's presidency
had required both air and naval support. On 20 April, the invaders surrendered after only three days, with the majority
being publicly interrogated and put into Cuban prisons.

Since the evacuation of the island of GUADALCANAL early 1943, the Japanese forces were scattered on most small islands.
US forces combine their naval air and ground assets to capture the 600 Japanese soldiers occupying the island.
The Battle of Vella Lavella was fought from 15 August - 9 October 1943 between Japan and the Allied forces from
New Zealand and the United States. Vella Lavella is an island located in the Solomon Islands that had been occupied by
Japanese forces. The Allies successfully recaptured the island. Barakoma Airfield on Vella Lavella was later the homebase
of VMF-214 "Blacksheep" and its CO Major Gregory "Pappy" Boyington (two months later) !

rico21 -> La Fiere (9/14/2016 6:05:00 PM)

La Fiere
On D Minus One the men of the US 82nd "All American" Airborne Division jumped into Normandy with the mission
of halting German reinforcements from reaching Utah Beach. The division’s two main drop zones were positioned around
the French town of Sainte Mere Eglise in two large open areas. The Merderet River divided these two areas and thus became
the first objective of the 82nd in order to consolidate their position. During the drop, the shaken pilots of the
paratrooper’s C-47 transport planes dropped the soldiers all across the Cotentin Penninsula, resulting in mass confusion.
Still, the men knew what had to be done, having studied the sand tables and maps thoroughly back in England. Elements of
the 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment converged on the bridge during the night of 5/6 June and established a rough
perimeter. At 1400 hours on 6 June, the Germans attacked in force with 1057. Grenadierregiment supported by 100. Panzer
Ausbildungs und Ersatz Abteilung, a tank training and replacement battalion.
The grenadiers advanced with the old French training tanks. As they approached the bridge, the tanks stopped in front
of the small minefield deployed by the paratroopers. As the infantry moved to clear the mines, the paratroopers opened
fire, causing casualties and forcing the tanks to pull back. Once they regrouped, a handful of H-39 tanks advanced
slowly toward the bridge. Suddenly, the first was knocked out by two carefully hidden bazooka teams. Nevertheless the
Germans pressed the attack and forced the paratroopers back to the eastern side of the bridge.
The Germans halted at the river, unable to advance through the now heavily-defended western bank. A stalemate developed
as the two sides struggled to gather enough strength to push the other back.
Eventually the paratroopers managed to push the Germans back thanks to the timely arrival of their glider-borne
regiment as well as several Sherman tanks which had arrived from Utah Beach. Unable to repel firepower of that magnitude,
the Beutepanzer tanks withdrew and the bridge finally fell into the hands of the Americans on 9 June.

Vyazma Airborne Operation
The Vyazma Airborne Operation was a Red Army airborne landing in the rear of German lines during the Battles of Rzhev.
It took place from 18 January to 28 February 1942. The objective of the airborne landing was to help troops of the
Kalinin Front and Western Front to encircle and destroy Army Group Centre. The airborne operation was unsuccessful and
resulted in the loss of most of the troops landed.
The Rzhev-Vyazma Offensive began on 8 January 1942 with the aim of encircling Army Group Centre. In the first stages of
the operation, the Red Army achieved some successes. As a result of the attacks of the Kalinin and Western Fronts, the
German lines were breached in several places. In order to facilitate the advance of the troops, Stavka decided to land
troops south of Vyazma with the objective of cutting the Vyazma-Yukhnov highway and the Vyazma-Bryansk railroad. The
planned drop zone was guarded by scattered German units. The first group of airborne troops, composed of the 201st
Airborne Brigade and the 250th Airborne Regiment, was landed in the rear of German troops south of Vyazma from 18 to
22 January. The landing was made at night, and the paratroopers presence in the German rear helped the attacks of the
33rd Army and 1st Guards Cavalry Corps.

Maleme Airport, Crete, May 21, 1941: The previous day, at the beginning of operation Merkur, the Luftelande-
Sturmregiment underwent heavy losses from the 22nd New Zealand Battalion while attempting to seize the Maleme airport.
Having failed, it was forced to entrench near the objective for the night. On the evening of May 20, the German
operation really did not seem a success. In spite of its failure, the Luftlande-Sturmregiment was the unit which seemed
to have established the most promising bridgehead. It confirmed that judgement on May 21 while seizing hill 107 which
overlooked the airfield in the south. Paratroops of Fallshurm-jäger-regiments 1 and 2 were en route to reinforce at 1430
hours and landed under the protection of a group of Junker 87.

Northern coast of Crete. In the West at Maleme the New Zealand defenders kept the German forces at bay but due to poor
coordination were eventually overwhelmed. The next landing was concentrated in the area south-west of Galatas and
Canea. Here the Germans found themselves dominated by the hills of "Prison Valley".

building of Galatas) at the end of 9 moves.

Galatas Bayonet Charge
Crete, May 25, 1941
On May 20, 1941 the Germans launched Operation Mercury, the airborne invasion of Crete. Over the following four days
they secured the Maleme airfield and steadily pushed the defending forces back as they gained a grip on the island.
Crack German paratroops and mountain infantry, pushing strongly along the Galatas Line, finally forced the New Zealand
Composite Battalion (an ad hoc battalion formed from anti tank gunners, engineers and support troops) and 18 Battalion
from their positions around the village of Galatas, seizing it shortly before dusk on the 25th and thus threatening the
entire Galatas line. The New Zealand 23rd Battalion, in reserve, was called upon to help and arrived about 7 p.m. With
a German breakthrough pending immediate action was called for. A quick run in and out of the village by two Vickers VI
light tanks of the 3rd Hussars with guns blazing was all the reconnaissance time allowed. The tanks returned with the
information that the place was "stiff with Jerries". One of the tanks' commanders and a gunner had been wounded and with
no replacements, two men attached to HQ Company of the 23rd but with no previous tank experience volunteered to step in.
At 8:10, with the sun setting, the order was given to attack. As the tanks moved back up the road towards the village, C
and D companies of the 23rd Battalion, with fixed bayonets, fell in along both sides of the road. Joined by elements of
the recently ousted 18th Battalion intent on revenge, the 20th and other units, the New Zealanders swept forward in what
has been called "one of the greatest bayonet charges of the Second World War".
