Introduction

Interrogations of German prisoners revealed that the SS militia clinging to the fringe of Hill 285 teetered on the edge of hysterical panic. Birks ordered the two companies defending the rise to take advantage and toss the Germans off it, starting with the positions originally held by Company B.

Conclusion

American patrols pushed the Germans out of the old Company B positions in the morning, easing the American task. The main attack went forward after an artillery barrage, and most of the SS militia tossed aside their weapons and fled in panic. Prisoners claimed that a hard core of battle-hungry fanatics planned to counter-attack, but no such hard core existed in the Götz von Berlichingen Division.

Additional Notes

Counters from Black SS may be used in place of those for Dishonor Before Death.
