5 Oskar sat in the back of his squad’s M113 Mannschaftstransporter with his G3 battle rifle clasped between his legs as his ride rattled and clanked across the field. The hum of the diesel engine vibrated through the vehicle and up his body. He contemplated the battle ahead and tried to recall all that he’d been taught. The jolt of the M113 coming to halt brought Oskar out of his reverie. ‘Out, out, out!’ shouted Unteroffizier Weber, slapping Oskar on the back as he exited the vehicle behind his comrades. Oskar went left with the MG-3 machine-gun team, carrying additional ammunition. Moving from the field where the Zug’s M113 armoured personnel carriers had stopped, Oskar and his team took up positions amongst the bushy under growth of a small stand of trees. Nearby, an old wooden farm shed harboured a rusty old tractor. In the distance, crossing the fields from the east, they came. Soviets, Oskar assumed, but they may be fellow Germans from the east or even Poles. It didn’t matter, today they were all enemies. Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles rolled towards Oskar’s positions, as he watched. The MG-3 gunner and loader prepared their weapon, and it was ready to fire moments after taking position. The fighting began with a nearby ‘woosh’ as the squad’s Milan team fired an anti-tank missile at an approaching tank. An explosion marked a hit, with the tank rolling to a stop as black smoke billowed out from the turret. The Zug’s other Milans joined in and more tanks halted and exploded across the enemy front. The enemy was just 500 metres away when Unteroffizier Weber ordered Gefreiter Fischer to be ready with the Panzerfaust 44 anti-tank rocket. Soon the Soviet BMPs were firing machine-guns and auto-cannons all around Oskar’s position as they approached to within 300 metres and halted. The BMPs disgorged their contents and Soviet riflemen fanned out on either side of each vehicle. They walked forward firing their assault and automatic rifles from the hip, kicking up dirt and leaves all around Oskar. At that moment the squad’s MG-3 teams began returning fire. As the Soviet riflemen fell, the lead BMP exploded in a shower of sparks. Fischer’s Panzerfaust 44 rocket had hit home. A sudden cry of ‘Ammo’, saw Oskar stirred from observation into action. He dashed over to the MG-3 with a fresh belt, his day of battle had just begun.

8 The Fuchs sped down the forest track, its six-wheeled suspension rocking and rolling over the rough surface, as Leutnant Schneider peered back down at his small column of vehicles from his commander’s hatch, checking to see if his platoon was keeping up. He turned back to look ahead at the platoon of Leopard 1 tanks that had already pushed beyond the forest toward a small village, their initial objective. The Leopards fanned out as they approached it, confident the battalion’s Luchs armoured cars had already flushed out any lurking Soviets. As Schneider’s platoon neared the village, they dismounted from their Fuchs and advanced into it on foot, checking houses for signs of enemy, while the Leopard 1 tanks waited at a distance to give fire support if required. A short time later Schneider found himself and his platoon at the opposite edge of the village. Now he understood why the company had been sent here. The eastern boundary of the village dropped off in a gentle slope that allowed for a panoramic view of the countryside below for some kilometres, and there, about two kilometres distant, was the autobahn. Along it was running a stream of traffic heading west. Dark trucks and armoured vehicles could be seen silhouetted against the fields. A look through his binoculars confirmed it, Soviets! Soon his troops would begin probing towards the autobahn to see how well this enemy supply line was protected. Then the rest of the brigade could begin its attack.

11 Serzhant Sergei Bolotenko crept up to the trees lining the road where three the German Leopard tanks sat, their tank commanders engaged in discussion. Bolotenko had no idea what they were discussing, but it didn’t matter to him. He had his trusty RPG-7 on hand and he was going to score himself a kill. He’d been told by the Leytenant that the Leopard tank was designed by speed, so wasn’t very heavily armoured. He also had a clear view of the rearmost tanks side armour. This was a certainty. Bolotenko took aim and fired. A “Fuh-ssshhhhh” and the rocket was on its way. There was an explosion and a cloud of dust and debris enveloped the Leopard tank. A smile lit up Bolotenko’s face as he admired his handiwork. As the dust cleared he was greeted with the sight of the tank’s turret turning to face him. His blood ran cold as he realised his anti-tank rocket had had no effect.
