On the 24th of April, the 2nd US Corps of General Bradley began the offensive. But US troops were quickly stopped in front of Hill 609 defended by German paratroopers of Regiment Barenthin. It needed five days of battle to the 34th Infantry Division to capture this hill which dominate all the area. The battle was fierce eand the fallschirmjägers launched several counter-attacks, in particular on Hill 523 against troops of the Big Red One. It was only the 30th of April that the 2nd Battalion, 168th Infantry, with the support of 17 Sherman tanks, captured Hill 609.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
