The Waffen SS attack began to run out of steam due to the number of casualties and the desperate situation at hand. The Polish Amry had no such shortage of men, as units withdrawing from the west were ordered immediately into this battle.

Polish troops that had been passed by would suddenly spring out of the cellars and doorways and inflict serious damage to the Gennmr troops sweeping through the streets. The SS men hung on and called for reinforcements to help take back the town. The Poles made one last despairing effort, but were gunned down by the Germans. The failure of the Polish assault resulted in the mass surrender of the Pabiance Garrison. As the Polish prisoners were marched past it was quite clear that their will to fight was now totally eradicated. now counterattacked fiercely. Preceded by a hail of medium and heavy mortar fire, the Germans reached the crest and poured small -mms fire into the Highlanders. Unable to dig into the rack, the Scots fell back a little as their own mortars found the range, providing cover for another thrust up the ridge. The Germans had the advantage of Bangers and natural fissures on Choir side ofthe ridge, and when pushed from the top world regroup tinder supporting fire for another assault.

On the Nationalist side, among the first fruits of these policies was the Division de Soria, formed from Cadist mid Falangist militiamen operating northwest of Madrid Holding a front of 50 kilometers, they had been opposed from the first day of 1937 by the Republican XII Division, one of the first large newly formed formations of the recently decreed Ejercito Popular (Popular Amy) to reach the front lines. When on 8 March 1937 Mussolini's Black Shirts shuck south down the Zaragoza highway towards Guadalajara, the task of clearing and screening the right flank of their advance fell to the Division de Soria. As the Italians poured through the XII Division's shattered front, the hills around Jadmque, almost the only elevations breaking the bare tableland, offered excellent positions both for the remnants of the X11 Division to regroup and for Italian penetration. Colonel La Calle, commanding the X11 Division, was :., determined to hold the bills; General Moscardo, commanding the Division de Soria, was determined to take them.

On August 1 the 3rd Russian Mechanized Corps of the 51st Army broke through the weakly held Gorman defense lines bciwcee Auz and Mium. The Russians quickly overcame the scattered German delaying musical reached the town of Tuckrun just a few kilometers away from the Gulf of Riga. Army Group North was effectively cut offhom the rest of the German armies fighting in the east. At this critical moment in the summer of 1944, Generalobersl Ferdinand Schomer, commander of Army Group North, began scraping together emergency combat units for a counterattack that he hoped would restore land communications between both army groups. One ofthese emergency units was SS Panzer Brigade Gross, consisting oftwo weak tank companies made up of old PzIH and IV tanks, the 103rd Heavy Tank Battalion (Tiger tanks) with Parrergrenadier support plus the adhoc 1 SS Armored Seem initiation.

Nineteen days after the Soviets had severed land communications between Anny Group North and Mine, the Germans had finally amassed a sizable force that they hoped ,,cold be able to restore the German from between both armies by fighting their way through the Soviet 3rd Mechanized Corps. On 20 August, SS Panzer Brigade Gross (which was attached to Parer Division Sta chwitz, another adhoc unit) attacked towards the village of Tuckum.

The Russian advance continued in the snow covered forests. Elements of the Getman 96th Division were surrounded. Their supply route through the forests had been out by the Soviets the night before leaving burnt -out vehicles along the main supply road. 1st Company of the 43rd Regiment was given the task of reopening this supply road to their sur- rounded comrades. With a single tank leading the way, the 3 platoons began to move forward under the clear and cold night. "Just keep up and everything will be all right," yelled the tank commander to the supporting ground troops. The Skoda tank's engine revved and the vehicle began to roll forward like a huge beetle, crunching the frozen branches of a downed tree. The tank rolled along the supply road, with one platoon to its left, another to its right and one platoon following along the rats in the snow left by its two caterpillar tracks...

Q56 ,y STAND AND DIES CHAPEL PROVINCE, CHINA, 7 December 1937: On July 7th 1937, Japan opted for an all out war against China: the Kwantung Armyatmcked from the north, while an expeditionary force supported by armor landed from the sea and drove on Peking through Tien -ton. The . Japanese aim was to seize northern China without delay, and the tanks provided the necessary speed and shock to achieve such a goal. The IJA assumed that Chiang Kai -Shale would accept ,ti4 rp seizure of the north; and indeed, within five months the IJA had seized nearly all territory north of the Yellow River without serious resistance. Chiang chose to make his stand and fight the Japanese in and around the city of Shanghai, calculating that the large foreign population in the area would attract the attention and perhaps the intervention on China's behalf of the western e, r -� N powers. The Japanese assaulted the last of the Chinese defenses surrounding Shanghai on the P i ' -T�;� �w4!' "` 'v rk 7th of December. Following would be a 5 -day struggle to breach the defenses of Chiang Kai -shek.
