Overview:

The fortunes of war had turned full circle. The Reichstag was in flames; the war all but over. Surviving elements of Panzer Division Muencheberg, the final stalwart defenders of Berlin, decided to attempt breakout to the west rather than surrender to the Russians. Believing that the Havel crossings at Spandau in western Berlin were only lightly defended, the few remaining units moved out from Tiergarten after dark on May 2nd.. . . [Mark Nixon, Journal #1]: High quality Russians hold the canal bridges against rag-tag remnants of the Muencheberg Panzer Division, fleeing Berlin in the last days of the war. Scenario parameters force the Germans into a frenzied rush across those bridges and something of those fearful days seems captured here in cardboard.

Defender: Russian (2nd Guards Tank Army)
