In the last days of the War in Europe, US soldiers joined forces with Wehrmacht infantrymen to defend an Austrian castle against an attacking SS force. It has been called the strangest battle of WW2 and is the only known instance of US and German forces fighting side-by-side.
Late in the evening a squad of US soldiers on a reconnaissance mission deep in the Normandy countryside are cornered by an enemy patrol and pinned down inside a small farmhouse. Under sustained fire, the unit has taken multiple casualties, including their squad leader. The remainder of the American platoon have been tasked with relieving the embattled squad and taking control of the nearby village.
The German counterattack is in full swing. In their bid to reclaim the gains made by the Americans, they lay siege to a vital intelligence post outside Mortain. With no reinforcements, the besieged US forces need to repel the assault so that vital intelligence doesn’t fall into German hands.
Right before the D-Day landings began, a massive force of paratroopers jumped into an intended objective area of 10 square miles. Tasked with taking a Bridge that would prove critical for breaking out of the Normandy beachheads, the 1st Batallion of the 505th Parachute Regiment engaged German troops guarding the bridge...
Between December 8th and 17th 1943, the small Italian village of San Pietro Infine became a focus for the Italian Campaign of World War II, with the Germans to the North and the Allied forces, joined by Italian soldiers, to the South. The heavily fortified German ‘Winter Line’ ran through the town and was a significant obstacle for the Allies, as it protected an important highway and blocked their advance on Rome. The ten day engagement began with a direct attack led by the Fifth Army.
As the days shortened in late 1944, both sides scouted further each night, withdrawing by dawn back to safe ground. However, one morning, at their overnight bivouac at Sannia Wald (Sannia Wood), a US army platoon found itself surrounded by a German force ready to go on the offensive.
A German sniper has brought chaos to a US outpost. Send your scouts to find him and deal with him before we take more lasses.
