COLLAPSE OF ARMY GROUP CENTER

On the 22nd of June, 1944, the third
anniversary of the invasion of Russia,
the Soviets opened a massive summer
offensive against Army Group Center.
With overwhelming ground, air, and
artillery, the Soviet combined arms
offensive shattered the Germans and sent
them reeling backwards.  Trying to stem
the onslaught were small units of the
Luftwaffe, such as 10.(Pz)/SG 9, equipped
with Hs129B-2s.  Hauptmann Ruffer, the
captain of the unit, had 70 confirmed
tank kills by the start of July 1944.  He
was lost on July 16, toward the end of
the offensive.

MISSION

It is July 16, 1944, and elements of the
Second Belorussian Front are attacking
near Grodno.  Destroy as many tanks as
possible (represented by the flak guns in
the target area).  Your escort will be
limited.  Expect heavy opposition.

NOTES

This is a normal day mission.
