Overview:
The 3rd Armored Division "'Spearhead" crossed the Rhine below Cologne and ripped through the German countryside like a Kansas tornado. Fighting their way through village after village, the division covered nearly 45 miles in 48 hours, capturing thousands of bewildered German prisoners. On 29 March, they received orders to take aim at Paderborn, a vital town astride several road junctions. The large town was key to encircling German Army Group B, trapped in the Ruhr Pocket to the north. Recon units fanned out along every road to Paderbom, looking for a weak spot where the tip of the spear could land.Attacker: American (83rd Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 3rd Armored Division)
Defender: German (SS) (SS-Aufklärungs-Ausbildungs und Ersatz-Regiment)
