Follow and Wishlist our game on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/36... November 4th, 1944. Lt. Raymond E. Fleig of Company A, US Army’s 707th Tank Battalion, leads a platoon of M4A3 Shermans up a treacherous mud trail in the middle of the Hürtgen Forest. He’s been sent on a critical mission, through the quagmire of the deep woodlands, to reinforce the exhausted American GIs of the 28th ‘Bloody Bucket’ Division who are desperately holding the village of Kommerscheidt against a German onslaught. In a brutal four-day battle against an entire Panzer division, Fleig faces off against the mighty Panthers and Panzer IVs, as well as endless waves of German infantry and artillery fire. What follows is a story of heroism, tragedy and the doomed last stand in the Hürtgen Forest. Sources: HistoryNet (2006). Battle of Hurtgen Forest: Fight for Schmidt and Kommerscheidt.
