Nachtjäger Preview (Nachtjäger means Night Hunter)
The Battle For Northern Germany
March - May 1945
On Sale From February 2015
|
‘The enemy thinks he is safe behind this great
river obstacle. We all agree that it is a great obstacle; but we will
show the enemy that he is far from safe behind it. This great Allied
fighting machine, composed of integrated land and air forces, will deal
with the problem in no uncertain manner.
And having crossed the Rhine, we will
crack about in the plains of Northern Germany, chasing the enemy from
pillar to post. The swifter and more energetic our action the sooner the
war will be over, and that is what we all desire: to get on with the
job and finish off the German war as soon as possible.
Over the Rhine, then, let us go. And good hunting to you all on the other side.’
~ Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery, March 1945.

When the hammer falls in late March 1945, fierce night battles erupt
all along the front. Small gaps are created through which fly new better
armoured and upgunned Comet tanks, the pinnacle in British cruiser tank
design. However, the night-fighters of Panzerdivision ‘Clausewitz’ with thier infra-red equipment await them in the shadows... |
