Fronteinsatz*
*
Date: February 24, 1945 *
*
Battle Location: Rummelsburg, Hinterpommern, Germany.*
*
Battle Type: Germany defend vs USSR advance.*
*
Description: Soviet forces have begun their offensive to clear the Baltic coast and the city of Danzig.
Near the village of Rummelsburg, a battery of 88mm Flak guns being transported west are forced to detrain and prepare for immediate frontservice, in an anti tank role, as the Soviet forces are rapidly coming closer.**
The Flak battery is largely manned by untried 16 year old Flakhelfers pressed into service in the Luftwaffe, previously part of the Danzig anti aircraft defences. This will be their first engagement, few of them will live through the coming battle.*
