The Germans at Mortain, August 1944 for Rapid Fire! in 20mm size. Part 2...


The 2. PD was one of the best equipped divisions in Normandy. Even at around 50% the division was considered Kampfwert I for the Mortain offensive managing to get to the farthest point of the attack, at Mesnil-Adelée.
The 2.SS PD "Das Reich", famous for its war crimes, managed to conquer Mortain itself and its men tried hard to take Hill 314, from where Lt. Robert Weiss directed a murderous indirect fire on the advancing Germans.
