Overview:

The German First Army High Command needed to establish a new front line running from Gorssachsen-Schreisheim-Ladenberg-Neckar Cannal to Seckenheim-Altrip-Rhein. For this operation the First Army would receive the 559th Volksgrenadier Division and attached to it the 653rd Schewere Panzerjager Abteilung with eight operational Jagdtigers. The morning of 30 March, three Jagdtigers of the Kompanie 1 under command of Leutnant Hans Knippenberg were ordered into combat at Heidelberg / Schwetzingen, to delay the American advance from Mannheim. The heavy tank destroyers arrived in Schwetzingen just before noon. The American spearhead reached the city earlier than anticipated and immediately engaged the huge tank destroyers in combat.
