The second volume in the Battle Maps Memoir' 44 series contains 2 Overlord scenarios, 6 Tiger tank figures and 2 bonus scenarios. After the success of Operation Bagration, the Soviets advanced towards Memel on the Baltic coast. This advance soon cut the lines of communication between Army Group North and what was left of Army Group Center. By early October 1944, the Soviets had reached the sea, definitively isolating Army Group North by cutting off its retreat.
Guderian wanted to evacuate his troops by sea so that he could redeploy them to Central Europe, where the situation was getting worse and worse, but Hitler stubbornly refused, so he ordered the 200,000 surrounded soldiers to entrench themselves in the Curonian Spit, thinking of using it as a springboard for a future offensive. The Führer did not realize that what he persisted in calling a bridgehead (der Kurland-Brückenkopf) was nothing but a death trap for his divisions.
Nevertheless, they withstood six violent assaults before surrendering to Marshal Govorov on 8 May 1945. Most of the prisoners taken by the Russians that day were sent to Soviet camps, and only a minority returned.
