Operation Corridor

**Operation Corridor** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

Here it is, Mein General, before us lies the primary supply route of the Persian Corridor.

Time for us to squash this new threat before the British can regroup for another assault on the Caucasus.

**Primary Objective: Capture all Victory Hexes.**

**Bonus Objective: Secure and then Protect all Special Depots.**

The only way to traverse this mountainous region is through its various valleys, so expect these natural chokepoints to be heavily defended.

Be aware that there is a lack of airfields in the region, so I would advise against deploying too many of our aircraft.

While the goal of our attack is to cripple this major enemy supply line, we don't have to smash everything.

Forward recon has detected several large depots.

If we can clear out the defenders around them, and then keep them protected against any enemy effort to sabotage them, I'm certain we can collect more than a few prizes for ourselves.

To victory, for Germany!

### Debriefing

Our work here is done, Mein General.

The Allied 'Persian Corridor' is in ruins, and our control of the Caucasus will make sure this aid route into the Soviet Union will never re-open.

High Command is clamoring for our forces to return to Germany immediately, and so I have already begun the preparations to ship home.

That said, we have been asked to assist in a small scale, special forces operation, while we still control this much Persian territory.

It is an operation that will require unconventional forces only, primarily our Fallschirmjäger, and we should only accept the mission if we have elite infantry forces.

**In this alternate history, German forces continue Erich von Manstein's scorched earth tactics to help protect their conquest of the Caucasus.**

**Rather than attempt to conquer far distant Persia, modern day Iran, the German efforts turn to ruining as much Allied infrastructure in the region as possible.**

**Anything that could not be carried off was put to the torch. Over half a million tons of cargo and supplies would be destroyed during Operation Corridor, in addition to the destruction of hundreds of miles of roadways and rail lines.**

**This strategy blocked further Axis advances into the Middle East during 1944, but this was seen as an acceptable compromise, as all available German forces were needed in Europe for what lie ahead...**

* Mein General, if I may interrupt for a moment, I think you will be most interested to hear the news I have. One of the top scoring aces in all the Luftwaffe, one Hauptmann Gerhard Barkhorn, just finished quite the propaganda tour back home, and he and his squadron are due for a new assignment.

There is a rumor going around that he has already been looking to transfer to join with our fighter squadrons. Apparently, he sees it as his best opportunity to maintain his lead over the other top scoring Luftwaffe aces. I firmly believe this is a gift we should not overlook, and we should do everything in our power to get Hauptmann Barkhorn for ourselves.
