American Briefing

Our unit has moved to cut off the German paratroopers from moving from St. Come to Carentan by road. The plan is to maintain an effective road block as well as prevent as many German troops as possible flanking our position. Thereby escaping our trap. It is expected the Germans will attempt to clear the road so they can move their heavy equipment by truck to Carentan.

Our orders are to deploy up to 50 meters either side of the road and destroy any Germans advancing on our position. Each section has been assigned one medium machine gun, one light machine gun, three semiautomatic M1 Garands, as well as Grease guns. Additional reinforcements are expected to arrive shortly.
 

German Briefing

Our unit, consisting of paratroopers and grenadiers, has held St. Come against constant pressure from American paratroopers for two days. But the Americans are receiving relief from the beaches and our forces are dwindling. The Americans have cut the road to Carentan to the south leaving us surrounded on three sides, with only the flooded lowland open to the west. The time has come to break out to the south and reform in Carentan.

Our force commander “Oberst Friedrich von Heydte” has ordered us to penetrate through the American troops along the road. Due to enemy fire to the east, and terrain impassable to heavy equipment to the west, our orders are to say within 50 meters of the north-south road. Our primary objective is to push as many men as possible to Carentan.

Reserves are very limited, casualties should be minimized.

Each section is well armed with three MG42 LMG’s. The rest of the section has long range bolt action Kar 98K rifles. Experience has shown our Kar rifles can out range the American Grease guns.
