The year 1944 and the defenders last respite came to an end. At the start of 1945 rumors started in the the bridgehead Memel that the defenders would be making a last push to Kurland and from there on to make a lasting connection again with Eastprussia. An action called Silberstreifen.**
SCENARIONOTES:*
On the morning of 10 January 1945 the Tiger tanks of the sPZAbt 502 rolled to their advanced positions right behind the primary front line of the 95th Infantry Division, General Gollnick rolled right up to the primary front line to lead the attack personally. During a short but intensive artillery and rocket bombardment around 1245 PM the pioneers began to destroy the first paths through the minefields.A short time later the main attack began. The orders for both platoons of the sPZAbt 502 were: Attack the town of Krottingen. Destroy the enemy presence in the town consisting of strong artillery and tank forces.**
