[Toten Tanz]

Strike of the Lehr - Toten Tanz vs. Rupert Turn 6

Once again, Divisional Artillery fell on known and suspected American positions. No visible casualties are observed.

The KG Muhler units at Hirschland assembled at their assault positions and made final preparations. The American defenders attempted to attack the Eastern assault group, to no effect. They withdrew back into the town, and could be seen aligning their defenses. A scout jeep section moved North from the town, and ran into the MG platoon acting as a blocking force, still mounted in their HTs.

Machine gun fire reduced the American infantry platoon that had destroyed the MkIV, from II Blt/Panzer Lehr Reg., outside Kirrberg. The platoon surrendered as the tanks of 5 Co. over ran their positions. The rest of the assault group pushed across the river to the East of the town. The Eastern assault group continued to hold its position.

Fighting along Ischermmuhl Ridge was heavy. Small arms and tank fire pummeled the defending Americans. They answered with effective artillery and rifle fire. Det. 1 of Pz.Auf. Lehr Abteilung 130 launched a company sized attack on Weyer, in order to take some of the pressure off KG Otzenberer's attack on the ridge. Tank fire also destroys an American OP some 3.5KM SE of Ischermuhl, that looked down onto the KG's positions.

American TDs, light armor, and command units were seen withdrawing SE from Drulingen. Infantry was also seen heading South towards Weyer from the town, too. It looks as though only a light force is left in Drulingen.

A machine gun platoon appeared on the high ground South of Baerendorf. This is very alarming, because its position gives it good fields of fire and observation into KG Muhler's rear area.
