Overview:
The famous assault on Eban-Emael was only part of a sweeping operation to seize bridges across the Albert Canal-Belgium's first and foremost line of defense along which the Allies anticipated the Germans could be held at bay for five days. Even as Witzig's combat engineers debouched from gliders on the grounds of the fortress, "Assault Group Steel" (volunteers from the 1st Company, Fallschirmjäger Regiment 1 led by Lt. Altmann) was coming to earth at the villages of Veldwezelt and Briedgen to the north. In a furious assault, the 114 Germans captured the two bridges there and destroyed the detonator wiring. Still under desultory fire, engineers removed the explosives. Altmann reported success and settled back to await relief by the 4th Panzer Division. But it was not to be that simple. The Belgian command, acting with rare alacrity, ordered the 2nd Carabiniers to recapture the lost bridges.Attacker: Belgian (2nd Carabinier Regiment)
Defender: German (Sturmgruppe Steel)
