10_13: Two Days to the Weser - MC 04 North German Plain '85

North of Hannover, June 10th 1985: The task for the 3rd Shock Army was quite simple really, cross the frontier and strike for the River Weser on a route north of Hannover. Then secure multiple crossings in two days, so as to allow relief formations to pass through and carry the advance deeper into West Germany. On the right flank, the 8th Motor Rifle (GDR) Division had run into stiff resistance on the Lueneberger Heide. But, on the left flank, opposition was light as the 207th Guards Mot Rifle Div steamroller devoured NATO screening forces and the 47th Guards Tank Div extricated itself from a battle at Braunschweig. Time was on NATO's side as NORTHAG hastily set up to defend the river line that the Soviets had set as their first major objective of the attack.
