In the aftermath of Otto's Skorzeny's successful rescue of Mussolini at Gran Sasso, Hitler conceived of an even more daring operation involving the kidnapping of Winston Churchill. Planning for the operation "Eagle" would fall to the direction of Admiral Canaris of the Abwehr. Oberst Radl would put together the operation and identify survivors of the Fallschirmjaeger Special Operations Detachment led by Obert Kurt Steiner. Steiner and his men disguised as Polish Paratroopers would arrive at Studley Constable on the east coast of England...where Churchill was expected to make a visit. The German plan was well in hand until a child's accident would lead to the death of one of Steiner's men and reveal that they were in fact German Fallschirmjaegers. Elements of the US 2nd Ranger Battalion located nearby were quickly activated and sent to Studley Constable to verify the existence of German Paratroopers. Steiner and his men prepared a welcome.
Attacker: American (2nd Ranger Battalion)
Defender: German (12th Fallschirmjaeger Special Operations Detachment)
