Historical Background:
To stop definitively the hegemony of communist partisans lead by Josip Broz "Tito" in Yugoslavia, the German command decided to make an airborne raid on the Tito's HQ in Drvar. Operation "Rösselsprung" was made by SS-Fallschirmjäger Bataillon.500, a SS paratroop unit. On the 25th of May 1944, Tito celebrated his 52nd birthday but as a bad birthday gift, he saw German paratroopers falling from the sky and engaging the combat once landed.Tito escaped barely from the SS attack by withdrawing in a tunnel behind his HQ. After that escape, the SS paratroopers were themselves surrounded in the city of Drvar by thousands of Yugoslav partisans. They resisted until 27th of May when they were delivered by German armored columns coming from Bihac and Banja Luka. Operation "Rösselsprung" was a setback, the bird has flown !
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
