StieliAlpha Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) It is a little outside the CMBN scope, but does anybody have detailed info about the Battle of Paderborn on 30/31 March 1945 and the destruction of TF Welborn? I recently stumbled over this action and was surprised to read that some people call it "the last big tank battle on the western front". Apparently a company of the " schwere Pz Abteilung 507" destroyed TF Welborn, killing 20+ tanks and a similar number of half-tracks and trucks.

StieliAlpha Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Browsing YT, I came across this video: https://youtu.be/zMf55PrCR1E To date the best overall account of the battle between the 3rd Infantry Division and the Panzer Brigade „Westfalen“, which I know. Much better than the two Marc Felton videos about the battle. Edited October 8, 2021 by StieliAlpha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Good find.....The video from the same source featuring the Battle of Singling should be of interest to CM:FB players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfrodo Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 well, that's quite a coincidence. I was listening to Spearhead audio book today during my workout and it's the battle of Paderborn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
