Historical Background: Beginning on the 20th of April, 1945, the city of Berlin fell within range of Soviet artillery and signaled the start of the Battle of Berlin. Within a few days, the city would see itself encircled and its supply stocks captured: the fate of Berlin was sealed. Yet within the city itself was a garrison of some 45,000 Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS soldiers, far less than what it was said would be required to defend adequately. The defense of the city was divided in to eight defense sectors with designations from “A” to “H,” and in the center lay Sektor Z or the “Zitadelle” where the XVIII Panzergrenadier Division was held in reserve. Over the next week, Soviet forces overran the city block by block, reducing the territory held by the Germans to a strip of land no larger than 15km long and 3km at its widest. At this point, the date was April 28th 1945, and the Third Shock Army was little more than over a kilometer away from the Reichstag. But between the Soviets and their objective remains the 11.SS ‘Nordland’ division, a volunteer force of Scandinavians who will fight to the bitter end, and they hold a vital obstacle which will need to be overcome: the Moltke Bridge.
Map Description: Kriegstadt is a combined arms map which seeks to recreate the experience of the Battle of Berlin while operating within the framework of the offensive undertaken by the 150th Rifle Division of the Third Shock Army against the units of the 11.SS ‘Nordland’ in the district of Moabit. Players will find themselves fighting amidst the ruins of the city, in the streets, and in vicious room-to-room fighting within those buildings left intact by the intensive shelling.
