Battle of France

The **Battle of France: Arras** is the second Battle in the German Campaign.

## Briefing

* Capture the gas station

* Advance over the railway lines and eliminate all opposition

## Preface

The quick success of the German blitzkrieg assault on France prompted Allied high command to respond rapidly to the threat. This, in turn, led to the Battle of Arras in 23. May 1940 when the Germans, deep in French territory were attacked from the north by English, and from the south by French forces. The counterattack was meant to stop the Axis armies from cutting off the Allied troops trapped in Belgium by breaking through the invading armored spearhead. However, due to the lack of coordination on the Allied side and a quick restructuring of German artillery, this resulted in only a fleeting initial success for the Anglo-French armies. Following this short panic in the Axis lines the invaders, under the command of Erwin Rommel, managed to push back the counter-offensive and the Allied troops had to withdraw to avoid becoming trapped themselves. With the failure of the offensive at Arras, the Battle of France was mostly concluded and Anglo-French resistance in the West was all but wiped out.
Battle of Sedan

The **Battle of Sedan: Wadelincourt** is the first Battle in the German Campaign.

## Briefing

* Cross the bridge before the french blow it up, blocking the only way across the river Meuse.

* Eliminate enemy bunkers and other defenses

## Preface

The Battle of Sedan was fought as part of the French Campaign when Germany invaded France early in the war. It was part of the "Fall Gelb" (Case Yellow), an offensive operation through the Aredennes mountains to outflank and decimate the Allied armies in Belgium and North-eastern France and open up a way into enemy territory. To be able to advance freely into France, the Germans had to take the city of Sedan and cross the Meuse river, protected by a defense line of over 100 bunkers and strong artillery. Starting on 12 May, armored divisions took the city and attempted to move across the river at Wadelincourt, but were lacking sufficient artillery support, so they had to rely on the German air force, the "Luftwaffe", almost entirely. Outgunned by French artillery, the German forces managed to break the tough enemy defenses while the air battle unfolded above them. This victory led to the Axis forces flanking the... TBC.

T34-76

The T-34 is a Soviet medium tank that had a profound and lasting effect on the field of tank design. At its introduction, the T-34 possessed an unprecedented combination of firepower, mobility, protection and ruggedness. Its 76.2 mm (3 in) high-velocity tank gun provided a substantial increase in firepower over any of its contemporaries; its heavy sloped armour was difficult to penetrate by most contemporary anti-tank weapons. When first encountered in 1941, the German tank general von Kleist called it "the finest tank in the world" and Heinz Guderian affirmed the T-34's "vast superiority" over existing German armour of the period. Although its armour and armament were surpassed later in the war, it has often been credited as the most effective, efficient and influential tank design of the Second World War.

This Wreckage

**This Wreckage** is the title of a song written, recorded and produced by Gary Numan, originally released as the opening track on the *Telekon* album in September 1980 and subsequently as the only single from the album later in the year.

The song is Numan's statement of intent to stop live performances, after achieving fame through his recordings and live work since mid-1979: "*This wreckage I call me, would like to leave you soon..*". The song also features a 'chorus' in Japanese.

The 7" single, Numan's fifth, featured a new track Photograph as its B-side, and reached no.20 in the UK in January 1981.[1][2][3]

Live versions of the song have been released on the albums *Living Ornaments '80* (the song opened shows on the 'Teletour' that year), *Living Ornaments '81* (rel. 1998), *Scarred* (2003), *Telekon - live* (rel.2008, documenting a 2006 live performance of the original album).

Battle of Kursk (Soviet)

The **Battle of Kursk: Ponyri** is the fourth Battle in the Soviet campaign.

## Preface

The German armies that invaded the Soviet Union conducted their final offensive operation at Kursk starting on 5 July 1943. Their attack was meant to push the Red Army into defense and weaken their forces to prevent a summer counteroffensive. The Russians were positioned in and around the town of Kursk in a salient, and the German maneuver consisted of a pincer to outflank the enemy on their northern and southern fronts. Thanks to Allied intelligence sources, the Soviet command was aware of the German plans, and built a strong defensive line to beat back an offensive force spearheaded by superior armored units. Still, on the northern flank the attackers managed to advance through a number of Russian defense lines in quick succession, penetrating into Soviet territory 8-10 kilometers deep before coming to a halt at the village of Ponyri. The heroic defenders there held out long enough for the Red Army to counterattack and push the Germans back on the northern side.

Kubelwagen

The Volkswagen **Kübelwagen**, previously mostly used for rail, industrial or agricultural hopper cars) was a light military vehicle designed by Ferdinand Porsche and built by Volkswagen during World War II for use by the German military (both Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS). Based heavily on the Volkswagen Beetle, it was prototyped as the Type 62, but eventually became known internally as the Type 82.

Kübelwagen is an abbreviation of Kübelsitzwagen, meaning "bucket-seat car" because all German light military vehicles that had no doors were fitted with bucket seats to prevent passengers from falling out. The first VW test vehicles had no doors and were therefore fitted with bucket seats, so acquiring the name VW Kübelsitzwagen that was later shortened to Kübelwagen. Mercedes, Opel and Tatra also built Kübel(sitz)wagens.

Panzer II D

The **Panzer II** is the common name used for a family of German tanks used in World War II. The official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen II (abbreviated PzKpfw II).

Although the vehicle had originally been designed as a stopgap while larger, more advanced tanks were developed, it nonetheless went on to play an important role in the early years of World War II, during the Polish and French campaigns. The Panzer II was the most numerous tank in the German Panzer divisions beginning with the invasion of France. It was used in both North Africa against the Western Allies and on the Eastern Front against the Soviet Union.
Battle of Stalingrad (German)

The **Battle of Stalingrad: Stalingrad Tractor Plant** is the fourth Battle in the German Campaign.

## Briefing

* Find a way to the industrial area
* Secure the two factories
* Advance to the volga river

## Preface

The Battle of Stalingrad was one of the major battles on the Eastern Front, spanning an arduous six months between August 1942 and February 1943. Initially, Germany and its allies were on the offensive against the Soviet Union in operation Fall Blau, and managed to reach the Volga River and the city of Stalingrad in Southern Russia in an attempt to secure much needed oil in the south-east for the continued war effort. When they reached the city, however, the Red Army put up a heroic resistance, and the Wehrmacht could only capture Stalingrad with near catastrophic losses. Holding the city proved even more difficult, as the overstretched German armies got trapped and surrounded in the ruins by Russian reinforcements, holding out for months in the hopes of a siege break that never arrived. Their eventual surrender marked the end of an easy German march into Soviet Russia. To this day the battle is regarded as one of the largest and bloodiest in the history of warfare.
Soviet Campaign

The Soviet campaign is 7 parts long that mainly takes place in the Russian theater of WWII. You can see a full list of each Battle below.

Operation Barbarossa

**Operation Barbarossa** is the third Battle in the German Campaign.

## Briefing

* Conduct an aerial recon to find soviet military assets
* Break through the enemy frontline at its weakest point
* Attack the area behind enemy lines and neutralize all military assets
* Mop up the soviet defense line

## Preface

Storming the Soviets 22 June 1941 marked the beginning of Operation Barbarossa (`Unternehmen Barbarossa' in German), the carefully planned and viciously executed invasion of the Soviet Union by Germany and its allies. Partly driven by Hitler's ideological desire to take over Russian territories, the planning of the invasion started as early as the winter of 1940. The operation saw the march of four million Axis soldiers — the largest invasion force in history — on an almost 3000 kilometer wide frontline running from the Baltic states to Southern Ukraine. Attacking without warning and using Blitzkrieg techniques, the Axis forces won resounding victories in the early stages of the operation. Each rapid forward movement was preceded by air and artillery bombardment and by August, the Germans had moved forward by several hundred kilometers, especially in Ukraine and Belarus. Even though the invasion came to a halt later at Moscow, the Germans conquered much of the Western part of the USSR.
Panzer III E

The Panzerkampfwagen III, commonly known as the **Panzer III**, was a medium tank developed in the 1930s by Germany, and was used extensively in World War II. The official German ordnance designation was Sd.Kfz. 141. It was intended to fight other armoured fighting vehicles and serve alongside and support the Panzer IV; however, as the Germans faced the formidable T-34, more powerful anti-tank guns were needed, and since the Panzer IV had more development potential, it was redesigned to mount the long-barrelled 7.5 cm KwK 40 gun. The Panzer III effectively became obsolete in the anti-tank role and was supplanted by the Panzer IV. From 1942, the last version of Panzer III mounted the 7.5 cm KwK 37 L/24, better suited for infantry support. Production of the Panzer III ended in 1943. However, the Panzer III's capable chassis provided hulls for the Sturmgeschütz III assault gun until the end of the war.

Battle of Berlin

The **Battle of Berlin** is the seventh and final Battle in the Soviet campaign.

## Preface

Towards the end of the war in the European theatre, the fall of Germany seemed inevitable, with US and Soviet forces racing each other to get first to the capital of the enemy, Berlin. But the Germans were far from beaten yet. The heart of German military and political power, the city stood its last stand between April and May 1945 against a Soviet offensive that moved in from the East, North, and South simultaneously. By 30 April, fighting moved over Spree River and into the vicinity of the Reichstag, the former German Imperial government building. Though actually in disuse since 1933, it served as a symbol that the Russians intended to bring down. Fierce, room-to-room fighting took place there, as German defenders occupied the burned out building and fortified it for the siege. Finally, on 2 May, the Red Army raised the Soviet flag over the top of the Reichstag, which many see as the end of the European war, even though fighting continued until the German capitulation on 8 May.
Zis-6 Truck

The **ZIS-6** (Russian: ЗиС-6) is a Soviet general purpose 6×4 army cargo truck, a three-axle version of the ZIS-5 two-axle truck. It was built from 1933 until October 1941 at the Moscow Zavod imeni Stalina factory and reached a total production of 21,239.

The robust and reliable base was used for many different bodies, for example as a searchlight truck or mobile workshop. But is best known for its role as the first multiple rocket launcher in July 1941. It was built by the "Compressor" Plant's Design Office during World War II (1941–45). Very few ZIS-6 trucks survive till today.

Balaton Defensive Operation

The **Balaton Defensive Operation:Lake Balaton** is the sixth Battle in the Soviet campaign.

## Preface

With the failure of the Ardennes counterattack, the German war effort was in dire need of oil, and Hitler deemed the oil fields at Nagykanizsa, near Lake Balaton, the most valuable strategic resource to defend. Thus, the last offensive action initiated by Germany on the Eastern Front, Operation Spring Awakening, started on 6 March 1945, as a preemptive strike towards the Red Army on the east side of the lake. Due to spring floods, however, the German advance was slowed down and they lost a lot of tanks to the swamps that formed between Lake Balaton and the Danube River. Also, the Germans were unsuccessful in keeping their preparations secret, so the Soviet forces were expecting the attack. Outnumbered, stuck, and outmaneuvered, the Germans could not reach the river to initiate the second part of the offensive plan. The Red Army held out, and on 16thMarch, the Soviets counterattacked, and drove the enemy back beyond the positions they had held before Operation Spring

Battle of Stalingrad (Soviet)

The **Battle of Stalingrad** is the third Battle in the Soviet campaign.

## Preface

One of the largest and bloodiest battles in WWII (and in fact, in the history of warfare), the Battle of Stalingrad raged on the Eastern Front between August 1942 and February 1943. Starting with an Axis offensive against a defending Red Army, the Germans managed to reach the city of Stalingrad on the banks of the Volga River in Southern Russia. The attackers' main objective was to get their hands on the oil in the region, which had become a very sought-after resource for Germany by then. Upon reaching the city, the Germans suffered terrible losses due to the Red Army's heroic resistance, and soon got completely surrounded and cut off. Thus the battle culminated in a drawn-out siege, and in February, the Russians started to retake parts of the city they had previously lost. With the rest of the German forces being unable to break out their fellows from the ruins, it all ended in a disastrous surrender, one that the Germans could never quite recover from on the Eastern Front.
Siege of Leningrad

The **Siege of Leningrad: The Road of Life** is the first Battle in the Soviet campaign.

## Preface

The city of Leningrad (today called Saint Petersburg) came under siege by German forces and their allies in September 1941 as part of the invasion of the Soviet Union. The siege was lifted over two and a half years later, making it one of the longest sieges in history. The attacking forces set up a ring around the city, closing off communications and supply lines to and from Leningrad. During the first winter of the siege, the Russians found the frozen Lake Ladoga bordering the city to be a viable - if dangerous - means to connect with the outside world. The first convoy departed on 22 November 1941, and soon, the line regularly transported supllies to, as well as civilians and wounded from the besieged city, and was named the Road of Life. Thanks to enemy bombardment, the ice became increasingly deadly to navigate, and the Germans also attacked convoys regularly with special troops. Thanks to the Road of Life... TBC.
Battle of the Hedgerows

The **Battle of the Hedgerows** is the second Battle in the Allied Campaign.

## Preface

One of the conflicts that comprised the Battle of the Hedgerows, the capture of the town of Saint-Lo, was fought between July 9th and 24th, 1944. After the success of the invasion of Normandy, Allied forces quickly targeted several cities of the peninsula to cut off German support and retreat lines. Saint-La was a valuable strategic point thanks to its many crossroads. To get to it, however, the French bocage area had to be broken through, which proved to be a difficult task. Ideal for defensive combat, this large area of mounds and hedgerows (or „bocage") allowed the Germans to put up heavy resistance. US forces took some time to adapt to the unique layout of the region and develop tactics that allowed them to advance. The eventual American breakthrough to the city was preceded by a bombardment in June during the Battle of Normandy that leveled most of the city, creating a maze of ruins that was later called The Capital of Ruins by Samuel Beckett.
Battle of the Bulge (Allied)

The **Battle of the Bulge: Elsenborn Ridge** is the fifth Battle in the Allied Campaign.

## Preface

The Battle of the Bulge was the result of a German operation (the `Ardennenoffensive) that started on 16 December 1944 and raged on for about a month throughout the Ardennes mountains in Belgium and Luxembourg. The objectives were the capturing of Antwerp to deny the Allies the use of its deep-water port and separating the American and British armies. The operation relied on multiple criteria: surprise, overcast weather conditions to neutralize Allied air superiority, rapid advance, and capturing Allied fuel supplies along the way. The Germans managed to build-up forces in secrecy and the attack was a very successful ambush at first. However, improving weather conditions and a fierce American resistance slowed and eventually stopped the onslaught. Although ultimately unsuccessful in achieving its goals, the offensive shook the belief of Allied high command that the Germans had already been beaten.
Sd.Kfz 251

The **Sd.Kfz. 251** (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251) half-track was a WW2 German armored fighting vehicle designed by the Hanomag company, based on its earlier, unarmored Sd.Kfz. 11 vehicle. The Sd.Kfz. 251 was designed to transport the panzergrenadiers (German mechanized infantry) into battle. Sd.Kfz. 251s were the most widely produced German half-tracks of the war, with at least 15,252 vehicles and variants produced by various manufacturers, and were commonly referred to simply as "Hanomags" by both German and Allied soldiers.

German

The Nazi Socialist Workers Society or the Nazi Party of Germany was a key factor of WW2. Nazi Germany invaded Poland, sparking World War 2. They then invaded most of Western Europe, including France, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, etc. They invaded the Soviet Union in July of 1941, which proved to be their downfall. The Nazis are notorious for starting the Holocaust, the mass murder of 6 million Jews.

Fourth Battle of Kharkov

The **Fourth battle of Kharkov** is the fifth Battle in the Soviet campaign.

## Preface

After the Battle of Kursk, where the Red Army led a successful counterattack against the invading German armies, the Russians launched Operation Polkovodets Rumyantsev to recapture the cities of Belgorod and Kharkov. After the evacuation of Belgorod, fierce fighting broke out near Kharkov as the Russians attempted to outflank the regrouping German forces. As the Red Army moved to take the town, the railway station South-East of Kharkov came to witness brutal fighting, and was eventually wrestled from the Germans in August. This loss — though by no means catastrophic — was enough to dislodge the defenders soon due to quicker Russian reinforcements and supply lines, which led to further Axis retreats. With the defeats at Kursk and Kharkov, and the failure of Operation Citadel, Germany lost the initiative on the Eastern Front for the rest of the war.
Churchill Mk VII

The Tank, Infantry, **Mk IV (A22) Churchill** was a British heavy infantry tank used in the Second World War, best known for its heavy armour, large longitudinal chassis with all-around tracks with multiple bogies, its ability to climb steep slopes, and its use as the basis of many specialist vehicles. It was one of the heaviest Allied tanks of the war.
Operation Plunder

**Operation Plunder: Lembeck Castle** is the seventh Battle in the Allied Campaign.

## Preface

Beginning on 23rd March 1944, Operation Plunder was a decisive Allied offensive in which joint British and American forces crossed the River Rhine at key points such as Reel and Wesel in order to gain entry into Germany's industrial center, the Ruhr. The maneuver was meant to cripple the region, as well as allow access to Northern Germany. Operation Varsity, the largest airborne action in history conducted in a single day and a sub-operation to Plunder, was launched to aid the crossing of the river by establishing a foothold across the Rhine and disrupting enemy communications. Despite heavy resistance, the paratroopers maintained their positions, allowing ground forces to take over the cities of the region in one quick swoop. The offensive went on for several days, with the US airborne units taking over numerous enemy positions, including the castle at Lembeck, which was turned into a heavily fortified defensive center for the Germans.
Operation Overlord

**Operation Overlord: D-Day, Utah Beach** is the first Battle in the Allied Campaign.

## Preface

By the Spring of 1944, Allied forces had been rehearsing a full-scale invasion of German-occupied Western Europe for over a year. Operation Overlord was set to begin in May 1944, but due to unfavorable weather conditions and an insufficient number of transport vehicles, the attack had to be postponed. The invasion began on 6th June, with an airborne assault of over 1200 airplanes and the subsequent landing of 5000 land vehicles and 160,000 troops. The initial objective was the securing of beachheads along the Normandy coastline on the Cotentin Peninsula, the location of important port facilities at Cherbourg. The beach code-named Utah was the Westernmost landing zone, the location of a pyrrhic Allied victory. Although the Allied forces failed to reach these goals as planned due to a fierce German resistance, they secured a tenuous foothold that they later expanded, capturing Cherbourg and the Caen in July.
Battle of Moscow

The **Battle of Moscow: Kalinin Front**  is the second Battle in the Soviet campaign.

## Preface

As the capital of the USSR, the city of Moscow was one of the primary targets of Germany's invasion on the Eastern Front. The attack, Operation Typhoon, started on 2 October 1941 and soon became a turning point for the eastern theater of the war. As the German offensive halted after coming very close to the city even in the face of the fierce Russian defense in November, fresh Soviet divisions from the East were deployed behind Moscow. On 5 December, the Soviet counteroffensive was initiated on the Kalinin Front. The Germans were caught by surprise, as they estimated the Russian forces to be as depleted and exhausted by then as their own. Because Hitler forbade any form of surrender to his forces in the face of the Soviet attack, many German soldiers fell in the hopeless defense of their crumbling lines. By year's end, the Red Army had droven the enemy back by over 100 kilometers, and started counterattacks in other sectors. The Germans were unable to reorganize their lines... TBC.
M3 Half-track

The **M3 Half-track**, known officially as the Carrier, Personnel Half-track M3, was an American armored personnel carrier half-track widely used by the Allies during World War II and in the Cold War. Derived from the M2 Half Track Car, the slightly longer M3 was extensively produced, with about 15,000 units and more than 50,000 derivative variants manufactured (most of which were interim designs).

The design was based on the Citroen-Kégresse half-track. The developers attempted to use as many commercial parts as possible. There were also several dozen variants for different purposes. The M3 and its variants were supplied to the U.S. Army and Marines, as well as British Commonwealth and Soviet Red Army forces, serving on all major fronts throughout the war. Although at first unpopular, it was used by most of the Allies at some point in the war.
Battle of Hurtgen Forest

The **Battle of Hurtgen Forest: Rur Dam** is the sixth Battle in the Allied Campaign.

## Preface

Initially aiming at cutting off German supply lines through the Hurtgen Forest towards the North where both Allies and Germans were dug in at Aachen, the offensive by the US forces led into a long series of cruel battles that spanned months between September 1944 and February 1945. Defenders under Generalfeldmarschall Walter Model managed to stop the American attack in its tracks and denied Allied forces the opportunity to attack and occupy the great dam at the head of the Rur Reservoir. Allied command feared that given the chance, the Germans would open the flood gates and swamp the downstream areas to halt the American advance. As the Battle of Hurtgen Forest raged on into the new year, the Ardennes Offensive came to a halt in Belgium in January, and the dam was finally taken over by American forces on 10 February, but not before the defenders flooded the whole valley the night before, delaying advance for several weeks.

Battle of the Falaise Pocket (Allied)

The **Battle of the Falaise Pocket : St. Lambert**  is the third Battle in the Allied Campaign.

## Preface

The speed and decisiveness of the invading Allied armies after the Battle of Normandy proved too much for the German defenders to handle, as they desperately tried to regroup. The Battle of the Falaise Pocket started on 12 August 1944, when the Allied advance encircled the retreating German Army Group B at the town of Falaise. By the evening of 19 August the Allies at Chambois outmaneuvered the defenders and managed to close the pocket, trapping over 100,000 enemy soldiers without relief. German forces outside the pocket at St. Lambert opened a gap and held it open until the evening of August 21st, allowing about half of their forces to escape before the Allies resealed the opening with a counterattack. German losses were catastrophic both in men and equipment, with half of their army group still trapped behind enemy lines. They soon surrendered, practically annihilating Army Group B and opening up the way to Paris and into Germany itself for the Allies.
