Grumble Jones or Ghosts of the Carpathians)
And always
remember, these scenarios are presented for fun only and as a
thank you to the readers of my blog.
Design note - this scenario is a hypothetical imagining of the exploits of Walter Girg and the men of the 502nd SS Jaeger Battalion during their time behind Soviet lines in 1944 Rumania.
It was difficult to find much info on the net about Operation Landfried. Feldgrau and Axis Forum only yielded a few tidbits of info.
"Ustuf. Walter Girg lead a company of around 105 men (1./502)
during the operation LANDFRIED in Rumania in 1944. The company was sent behind
enemy lines on the Carpathian mountain passes to scout the main directions of
the Russian attack. Girg was captured in the process but managed to escape and
though wounded reached the German lines with important information, that
eventually saved Army Group F from a certain encirclement. For this action he
received the Knight's Cross and was promoted to the rank of Obersturmführer."
So again...I have taken a great deal of dramatic license in the creation of this particular scenario.
