General Situation: In early December, the Soviets sent dozens of fresh divisions to the front, while the Germans received neither rations, fuel
or munitions. The Germans holed up where they could, while the winter mobile Soviets controlled the countryside, picking and choosing their

General Shaposhnikov in a speech to his army commanders, ‘We have, indeed, driven the enemy from the steps of our capital; however, the
war will not be decided here. It will take time.’
Commanders: 2 - 3 Initiative: Soviets on Round 1. Each Soviet commander takes a turn, then the German takes a turn. So the Soviets will
have two turns for each German turn. Special Turn Rule: The German may take two actions per turn. However, the second action must be a
CAP or Card action. If either Soviet commander’s units are completely eliminated, this special two actions per turn rule ceases immediately.
Note: Each commander has his own track sheet. Soviet commanders play for a combined win.

The Battle of Berlin – April 26th, 1945
Historical Overview: At the beginning of 1945, World War II was drawing to a bitter end. Allied forces had crossed the Rhine and were quickly
advancing into German territory, while the Red Army was steam rolling through eastern Germany. Marshal Zhukov himself commandered the
Soviet spearhead aimed at Berlin. Massive Soviet forces of tanks and guard infantry were marching on the German capital, which Stalin’s
propaganda had dubbed ‘Berlog’ - the Beast’s Lair. Bloody last stand battles raged between the Red Army and the desperate German forces
defending their capital. Deep in the reinforced concrete below the broken city, the German Fuehrer Adolf Hitler continued to descend into
madness, moving nonexistent army divisions across maps as he put all of his hope into the illusion of Wunderwaffen - secret weapons capable
of beating back the overwhelmingly superior Allied and Soviet forces and winning the war. Unfortunately for Hitler, the secret weapons never
materialized. With their backs literally against the wall, the ragtag defenders of Berlin were forced to rely on blood and iron. Wehrmacht

the aggressors even at the cost of their own lives. All to no avail - the Red Army was triumphant, liberating Berlin by the sheer force of their
numerical supremacy.
What, however, if Hitler’s Wunderwaffe had become reality, even if only to the least degree? What if German manufacturers had been able to

hubris and steel have been able to prolong the Reich’s existence, even if just for a few days or weeks?

meets real resistance. Fanatic soldiers of the French Waffen SS Division “Charlemagne” are barring the way. These experienced combat soldiers
prefer death in combat to a life in a French prison. They make the Russians pay dearly in blood for every advance of an inch. Surprisingly, the
French SS soldiers receive reinforcements in the form of two tanks formerly unknown to the Soviet - hulking monsters that can shred Soviet
attacks within seconds. These tanks are the ‘Maus’ and the ‘Panther F’, experimental German tanks issuing from the secret “Kummersdorf”

attacks being repulsed by the Wunderwaffen, General Chuikov, the hero of Stalingrad and Zhukov’s champion in Berlin, decides to send in his
own big guns. The super heavy “Joseph Stalin 3” tanks, beasts deserving of a chance to spearhead an attack on the German monster tanks.
Using the JS-3 heavy tanks, the local Soviet commander should hopefully be able to break through the line of the French SS combat veterans to
blast open the proverbial gate to Hitler’s last retreat…

Historical Notes:
The Panzerkampfwagen VIII “Maus” (“Mouse”) was a super heavy tank developed by Ferdinand Porsche around 1943-1944. It turned out to
be a purely utopist project, sheer megalomania fueled by Hitler’s delight in overblown projects. Weighing 190 tons and armed with a 12.8cm gun,

sparse to allow for a project such as the Maus. Only the prototype was built to completion and the Germans were to have destroyed it as the Red
Army was about to conquer Kummersdorf, where the Maus was designed.
Some sources, however, claim that the Maus was actually used to fend off the Red Army, being destroyed without having much of an impact
on the battle. All remaining manufactured parts for Maus production were reused in the defense of Berlin 1945. In fact, some gun turrets were

of static artillery rather than as a tank. Oddly enough, German engineers designed a tank even heavier than the Maus - detailed plans were

turret designed for a battleship. This monstrosity, however, was too much even by Hitler’s standard. Although it would have been ready for
construction, the Ratte never made it past the blueprints stages.
The Panther F was designed as an upgrade to the Panzer V ‘Panther’ tank. It was to be equipped with a much leaner turret and with range-

post-war tanks developed by Soviet and Allied companies.
The IS-3, “Ioseph-Stalin-3”, was the only one of all these giants to actually make it into serial production, beginning in May 1945. However, the

recruit heavily from friendly local populace, forming entire divisions composed of foreign soldiers. These included French, Danish, Russians,

brutal atrocities than for battle prowess while the Indian Legion, stationed in France, was more prone to fall victim to the pleasantries of French
culture than the attacks of French partisans. In a strange twist of history, the last defenders of Hitler’s Reichskanzlei were actually French
Waffen SS soldiers of the SS Division “Charlemagne”. Much to the surprise of war correspondents, the soldiers of Charlemagne proved to be
combat hardened fanatics that would not willingly give up an inch of ground. The French held off the Soviets with a death defying determination,
impressing even their opponents. The last soldiers to receive the Iron Cross were soldiers of Charlemagne, although only a handful of members
saw the end of the war. Some, and many other German SS soldiers, would again bear arms together a few years later in Vietnam, this time

 Sandomierez Counter Attack
General Situation: In early August 1944 the First Ukrainian Front crossed the Vistula River near the Polish city of Sandomierez. The
Germans counter-attacked with armored forces including their new King Tiger tanks to eliminate the bridgehead. However, the Soviets had
T-34/85’s and were very well hidden. Near the village of Oldegow, the two forces met.
Historical Aftermath: The German forces walked into an ambush. A pair of Soviet T-34/85’s, led by Captain P. Ivushkin, knocked out several
King Tigers with shots to their side and rear. The German counter-attack failed, and the debut of the King Tigers demonstrated they were not
as good on the offense as the defense.
