Ruhr Pocket

**Ruhr Pocket** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps*.

## Briefings

Well Herr General, we're still here holding on to the Rhine, but I fear this may not be the case for long. Despite our best efforts to sabotage all crossings over the Rhine, American forces have managed to seize Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen intact! This is an unacceptable situation because that bridge is strong enough for even their heaviest armor and ground assets to cross the Rhine. I shouldn't have to tell you, but that would unravel our entire defense as Allied tanks will then be able to freely roam the German countryside!

**Your objective is to destroy the Ludendorff Bridge before too many Allied units use it to cross the Rhine River.** To successfully neutralize the Ludendorff Bridge, you need to eliminate three specially marked American Bridge Engineer units located near the Ludendorff Bridge. The bridge has already suffered some collateral damage, and the loss of these engineers should be enough to render the bridge unusable to the Allies.

While aiming to destroy the bridge at Remagen, you must also maintain a solid defense at Cologne, so be sure not to neglect the defenses of that city. Cologne is too important to lose, and it creates a very defensible position that will choke the Allied advance.

### Decisive victory

*Historically, all German attempts to destroy the bridge at Remagen with railroad guns, jet bombers, and even V2 rockets failed to destroy the bridge outright. While it is true that the damaged bridge later collapsed into the Rhine on March 17th, by this point a sizeable Allied force had already crossed the Rhine and several pontoon bridges were well established.*
