10_14: The Minden Gap - MC 04 North German Plain '85

South of Hannover, June 10th 1985: The 35th Motor Rifle Division, of the 20th Guards Army, had the task of pushing to the west to secure crossings on the River Weser within two days. They were progressing quite well, meeting only screening troops so far. Their orders were to brush aside any opposition and keep well away from built-up areas. The first obstacle was the River Leine, once over this the Weser would be next. The Minden Gap was the prize for a daring leader to snatch. Latest reports were that NATO had left most of the major bridges intact and was scrambling to get units of the German 1st Panzer and British 1st Armored Divisions into position before the screen folded.
