Sudden Strike 5

Histoire

Diary of Corporal Wilson, March 7th, 1945 Somewhere near Remagen, Germany We’ve just taken the bridge at Remagen – made a breakthrough they never saw coming. Speed was our ally. The day was chill, no snow luckily, but nevertheless our breath was forming clouds in the crisp air. And yet, we took to action, flanked their Pak 40 positions with our Shermans, locked down the east bank with a barrage by 75mm M1 Howitzer and pushed forward before they could react. The whole thing was wired to blow – but we moved too fast. They didn’t have time. This wasn’t about firepower, but timing. Planning. Discipline. Every move counted, and we made it to the other side! This could well be the beginning of the end for this gruesome war.
