Panzer Lehr 2 | Base Game |
Introduction |
---|
Excellent intelligence allowed the American XV Corps to split the German First and Nineteenth Armies. With no reserves available to plug the hole a cry went up the chain of command for help. The Heer only offered one option, the refitting Panzer Lehr Division who they ordered to concentrate in Sarrebourg and strike south against the exposed American flank. Just to reach the assembly area required a 300 mile march for the rebuilt division. |
Conclusion |
---|
The German First Army commander felt the mission was a fool's errand that would waste men and machines for no purpose. He was overruled, and late in the afternoon Panzer Lehr threw what elements had arrived into the fray. They overcame their first serious challenge to their advance when they quickly pushed aside American screening elements at Hirschland early in the morning. |
Additional Notes |
---|
Panzer Lehr concentrated in Sarre-Union from where they struck south. Sarrebourg is to the south west of Sarre-Union. Sarrebourg is to the west of Strasbourg in the Lorraine |
