BIG CATS AT BAY
GOLZOW, GERMANY, 22 March 1945: The Vistula battle lost, the remnants of the German army reorganized behind the 
Oder-Neisse river, in the vain hope to stop the Red Army. The situation was even worse since the 5th Shock Army already 
secured a bridgehead on the western side of the Oder. The battle was raging inside Kuestrin. The 56th Panzer Corps was 
assigned to stop the Russians without delay.A Kampfgruppe was built and deployed on both sides of the highway that linked 
Kuestrin to Berlin. No less than 28 Tiger II and 28 Panthers where assigned to the Kampfgruppe. The morning of the March 
22nd, at 0600, the Russian steamroller started again. The front blazed up and the first German lines where flattened 
under a shower of shells and rockets during more than 90 minutes. Nevertheless, when then Russians met the defense, the 
Grenadiers offered a stiff resistance. Only a few tanks where able to make it through. Two armored arrows where repulsed 
by the Panthers and Tiger II. The Russians suffered heavy losses and did not wait long before withdrawing. At the same 
time, north of this battle, a third Russian group headed toward Golzow. The village hosted the Battalion HQ and was only 
very lightly defended by five Panthers from the recon group supported by a thin Grenadier company. Still, the German 
commandant decided to take up the challenge...
