On the Breach (CC2)


Narva, Estonia, March 22, 1944: On March 22nd, the Soviets made 
yet another attempt to dislodge the De Ruyter Regiment from their 
position on the Narva bridgehead. The largely Dutch volunteers were 
bombarded by Soviet artillery and then an infantry assault which 
annihilated the 5th Company in a matter of minutes. Captain Heinz 
Fruhauf, who had just taken over as commander of the 2nd Battalion, 
organised an assault group to try to close the breach.
