Germany 1945 (Hagerstown, MD)

For this Iate-war event, we were portraying the remaining members of the 256th Volksgrenadier Division, who along with remaining elements of the 6th SS Division, defended against the advance of the U.S. 71st Infantry Division into Germany from late March through early April 1945.  The American and British Armies facing the Germans in 1945 were quite a formidable foe. Almost fully mechanized, well equipped, excellent artillery, and total air superiority. By the time period we are portraying, the German solider had come to realize that at almost every recent engagement he fought in, he was outgunned and out supplied.
