Background: With Czech forces securing the vital network of crossroads in the town of Lubbecke, time is required to allow NATO forces to throw out the badly mauled Czech paras and regain the town.*
*
SHAEF orders the defence of Fintel Ridge in an effort to slow or stop the Soviet juggernaut and allow rear echelon forces to regain the vital crossroads of Lubbecke.  At 0400 hrs UK forces begin to move into the town of Fintel and deploy on to the ridge line.  Before them spreads the open country side of Fintel; and the roads which the Soviet forces must take.*
*
Soviet reconnaissance elements report the build up of UK forces on the ridge to 2nd Guards Army HQ.  Orders are issued to throw the NATO troops off the ridge and continue the advance.  Armoured units move into the attack while Soviet aircraft and artillery pound the ridge line.*
