[Toten Tanz]

Strike of the Lehr - Toten Tanz vs. Rupert Turn 3

Divisional artillery strikes fell on US forces, once again causing light casualties.

American troops South of Baerendorf have been engaged by direct fire artillery; suffering losses and becoming disrupted. They were then surrounded and assaulted by the PzIIs, of Det 3, of Pz.Auf. Lehr Abteilung 130 and captured. This has effectively cleared the high ground South of the town.

The tanks of KG Muhler have continued South, towards Kirrberg, with 1 and 2 Companies of the 1 Btl, 902 PzGdr Reg. in trail. A platoon of pioneers, from 10 Co, supported by 2 platoons of StuG/Hs advanced into Baerendorf to clear a visible minefeild. They came under ineffective rifle fire from American forces. Another platoon from 10 CO, mounted in HTs and support by a platoon of StuG III and Flamen HT, has been ordered to advance into the orchards on the high ground North of Hirschland, as enemy units have been seen infiltrating and taking up positions in that area.

KG Otsenberger continued through Eywiller and the lead elements crossed the improved bridge between Eywiller and Ischernuhl.

American light armor and ACs were seen retreating South of Baerendorf, along with command units. A large caliber HT mounted AA unit was seen retreating East into Hirschland. This could prove a problem for infantry and light armor. At this point it looked like the Americans had left 2 infantry platoons in Baerendorf, as a rear guard.

To the front of KG Otsenberger, truck born infantry was seen advancing North from Schalback.

More American artillery fell with no results along the Division front. It is becoming obvious that the American commander is firing unspotted artillery missions at Panzer Lehr.
