Battle Description: In the last days of April, Dresden was surrounded by the Red Army.  Hitler ordered Army Group Center to help Berlin with an attack from the area of Bautzen to the north.  But his order was utopian.  Generalfeldmarschall Schorner ordered the 4th Panzerarmee to pull back to the south to the Erzgebirge and prepare a final defense there.  In the course of these measures, the 10th SS Panzer Division "Frundsberg" received the order, on May 5, 1945, to assemble with all units in the area west of Dresden.  In this scenario, the remaining panzers of the "Frundsberg" fight their final battle while withdrawing toward Teplitz-Schoeau, aided by the last remaining divebombers of Oberst Rudel.*
