Sgt AA Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hi! This little city has (if I'm not wrong) been the subject for fighting in 1941 as well as 1945. I have some idées about making some scenarios about this and has find, to start with, those sites: http://www.fallingrain.com/world/LG/17/Priekule.html http://www.viss.lv/karte.php?xno=48&xlidz=8&yno=190&ylidz=5&ek=1&xp=80&yp=20 It's actually some quite handy sites about Latvia, but I have problems about the size about the city. I can't find anything that tells me how big the pictures/maps is? 1941.06.25 took the 505. IR (colonel Lohmeyer) the town. I assume that it belonged to the 18. army but does anyone know what division? Someone who knows anything about the Russian forces who was in the area at that time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Concept I developed several scenarios (none completed) based on the idea of fighting over the same piece of terrain, in one case an airfield ,in another a bridge, in 1941 and then again in 1944. I would recommend that as possible pathway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Perhaps this site is of interest. Don't know who gave me the link anymore, so it might be someone from this forum, in which case I apologise. And it's in German, but very informative about the German operations in the Baltic in 1944. http://www.yogysoft.de/il2/kurland/LL_44.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt AA Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Thanks for your tip, I'm still looking for some better maps, but your useful links helped me a lot, especially about the OOB. Andreas, your link is a goldmine! Luckily, Swedish people can understand 15-20% of the German language, but you inspire me to study that lingo again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
