End on the Elbe

**End on the Elbe** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps*.

## Briefings

**April 29th, 1945**

The moment I have feared is upon us, Herr General. We have literally nowhere left to go. From the West, the American advance is using our own Autobahn to speed its forces across Germany.  From the East, the Soviets continue their unstoppable advance.  Berlin is under siege, and we have little if any hope of reinforcements at this juncture.

**Your objective is to prevent the American and Soviet forces from linking together.**  The Allied forces will only be considered linked if there are American CORE and Soviet AUXILIARY units that are positioned together at the Victory Hexes along the Elbe River.

I have only one piece of good news for you. Some of our new prototype weapons are finally ready for use, and I've taken the liberty of forming several units around the city of Dresden.  These advanced forces stand ready to assist you!  Also, as a warning, you should expect the first Allied attacks to fall upon the northern sector of the Elbe, around Torgau.

Good luck, Herr General.  Though I am uncertain what victory here would accomplish, we will ensure our place in history with our honor intact!

### Decisive victory

The war is over.

Fighting against the overwhelming force of the Americans, British, Soviet, and other Allied forces, Germany's military has been crushed and the country left in ruin.  With the defeat of Germany, the conflict in Europe has ended.  After the war, Germany would be partitioned into occupation zones that would eventually form into West Germany and East Germany. This state of affairs would last throughout the Cold War, all the way until Germany was reunified in 1990.

*Historically, the first American and Soviet link up occurred near Torgau on April 25th.  The unconditional surrender of all German forces took place only two weeks later on May 7th.  May 8th is now celebrated as VE Day: Victory in Europe day.*
