The fourth module following the history of the 1.SS-Panzerdivison Leibstandarte continues with the unit taking part in the battles on the Eastern Front and Italy from July to December 1943. This eight scenario pack is compatible with MMP's ASL System.
LSSAH 25 - GETTING THE JOB DONE! Operation Citadel and the Battle of Kursk had begun. SS-Panzer-Grenadier Regiment 2, Leibstandarte supported by the Tiger-Kompanie and Sturmgeschutz Abteilung Leibstandarte moved forward toward the day's objective, the village of Bykovka. It was their job to clear a string of small towns along the Vorskla River of enemy forces and prevent the Soviets from outflanking them from the west bank of the Vorskla.
LSSAH 26 - STEEL AND FIRE: By noon on 6 July, 1.SS-Panzergrenadier Division Leibstandarte and the remainder of the II.SS-Panzerkorps was twenty miles deep into the Soviet's defence zone. A huge gap had been torn into the Soviet's Sixth Guards Army and the front line lay wide open. However, a crisis situation was building.
LSSAH 27 - THRUST TO THE NORTH: 1.SS-Panzergrenadier Division Leibstandarte pushed ahead towards Prokhorovka between the railway and the Psel, making a thrust to the north to capture the forest southeast of Hill 252.2. Simultaneously, 2.SS-Panzergrenadier Division Das Reich had gained a bridgehead over the Psel between Bogoroditskoye and Veselyy. The very thing, which the strict orders of the Soviet High Command had said "must on no account be allowed to happen", had now happened.
LSSAH 28 - "LAST DROP OF BLOOD": 1.SS-Panzergrenadier Division Leibstandarte arrived in Italy 8 August 1943. Initially, it was protecting important railway and highways in the Trient-Verona sector before moving into the Parma-Reggio area. Once in their designated area Leibstandarte began to disarm the Italian units at their barracks. In the following month there were a few minor skirmishes; the most serious in the in the town of Parma, where the local Italian Commander proved to be particularly energetic, wanting to test the resolve of his former Allies.
LSSAH 29 - "TO ITS LAST MAN": The disarming of the Italian forces in Northern Italy by 1.SS-Panzergrenadier Division Leibstandarte had gone peacefully. The reports of sizeable number of Italian 14th Army troops that had begun to withdraw into the mountains along the French border and were now being regrouped by capable officers was of concern to Germans.
LSSAH 30 - SWEPT CLEAN: Since the collapse of Italy there had been a daily increase in Partisan activity in the area around the Istria Peninsula. These Partisan groups had established strong, and in some cases fortified, positions all around the peninsula. They tended not to attack but hold their positions stubbornly and had recently intensified their artillery fire along the mountain and coastal roads.
LSSAH 31 - HOLD AT ANY PRICE: Back on the Eastern Front, Kampfgruppe Frey, 1.SS-Panzer Division Leibstandarte had orders to hold Kotscherovo at any price. One thing was clear; the Russians wanted Kotscherovo and they were encircling the town in preparation for an attack. As the cold dawn morning arrived they came punctually at 0630 hours.
LSSAH 32 - FIGHTING SPIRIT: 1.SS-Panzer Division Leibstandarte received orders to move back at nightfall to the Polvezkoy-Solotvin-Kodnya line and to make contact with 1.Panzer Division to set up a defensive line near Hill 271.8 Northeast of Berditchez. Leibstandarte's mission was to prevent any breakthrough by the Soviet forces and to keep the Zhitomir-Berditchez road open.
