Yugoslavia (PC2)

**Yugoslavia** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

As anticipated, High Command's reaction to the Yugoslavian coup was full of fury. In the few days since our return from Zagreb, the Yugoslavian capital of Belgrade has been subjected to a major bombing campaign.

But the bombings are merely a prelude, for Operation Marita has been expanded to include a full ground invasion of Yugoslavia!

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

**Bonus Objective: Raid Sarajevo before the final Victory Hex is captured.**

After the failure of all Italian efforts, and now the collapse of diplomacy because of the recent coup, High Command has decided the only way to properly secure the Balkans is through overwhelming German military force.

Our ultimate goal for the operation is total control of the Balkans by defeating Yugoslavia, Greece, and their British allies.

The first step we need to take is to occupy Belgrade.

Our staging ground in Romania puts us very close to Belgrade, so we will be very close the city as soon as we break through the enemy border defenses.

If my experience in Warsaw has taught me anything, we should expect a very tough urban brawl to take place before we can properly occupy the city. This will be further complicated by all the rivers that surround Belgrade which could make accessing the city more difficult than normal.

I recommend extra artillery assets, we'll need them to deal with entrenched defenses.

After Belgrade is secure, we need to advance south through Yugoslavia as quickly as possible. Renewed Italian efforts in Albania are already underway, as are new offensive operations launching from Bulgaria into Greece. These attacks are depending on our support, but the only way to reach them is through Yugoslavia.

To victory, for Germany!

### Debriefing

**Historically, the Yugoslavian capital of Belgrade would be captured in the most spectacular of circumstances. A mere handful of German soldiers managed to sneak, fight, and intimidate their way to the center of the city, where they hoisted a German flag.**

**When the city's mayor arrived on the scene, they managed to bluff him into surrendering, despite the main body of the German army nowhere near ready to assault the city.**

**In the end, Yugoslavia's outdated and barely mobilized army could only put up token resistance against the veterans of the German Wehrmacht. While their coup managed to nullify Yugoslavia's joining of the Tripartite Pact mere days after it was signed, organized resistance then fell apart almost as quickly, having lasted less than two weeks.**

* ***Hauptmann Wagner:*** Mein General, we've received a very curious radio signal from the Yugoslavian capital. It seems that a small vanguard of Germans are already in the city. They claim to have successfully negotiated the surrender of the city and its entire garrison!

* ***Hauptmann Wagner:*** I advise caution, but if there is truth to their claims, we should be able to roll right through Belgrade and continue our advance well ahead of schedule.
