Historical Background:
On the 22nd of November 1944, during the briefing before operation, Leclerc gave the routes to his combat commands in order to enter in Strasbourg avoiding the German line of defence. The next morning at dawn, the French armored columns rushed to the city. That was a real race between the combat commands of the division. But in the suburbs of Strasbourg, the German defensive positions, based mainly on the old fortresses surrounding the city, stopped the French armored columns. The combat command Rouvillois only reached to enter in the city, fighting as far as the bridge of Kehl. At 10h00, colonel Rouvillois sent an encoded radio message now famous : "Tissu est dans iode" (Rouvillois is in Strasbourg). A 14h00, a French flag, made on the spot, flew on the top of the Cathedral : the oath of Kufra was kept.

The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
