    Historical Background
    Unternehmen Nordwind (Northwind), the drive to Strasbourg, was the last major German offensive on the Western Front. Launched on
    January 1, 1945, it was initially successful as the Axis forces broke through the thinly stretched U.S. 7th Army line and drove toward
    Strasbourg.
    Elements of the 79th Infantry Division, however, were able to stall the German 1st Army and 39th Panzer Corps at the villages of Hatten
    and Rittershoffen, two small Alsatian towns just north of the Haguenau forest and a mile or so apart. Surrounded by German forces on
    three sides, the 42nd US Infantry Division was rushed forward to relieve them. The battle raged for almost a month, resulting in heavy
    casualties on both sides.
    The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
