| Tramping through an all-too-silent countryside, Germans keep their heads down behind their armored vehicles. |
|
| The 101st, already aware of their approach, spreads out to secure the area. |
|
| An old rail bridge is sufficient to support the weight of the Stug B. But its infantry squad is lagging behind. |
|
| Meanwhile, the sdkz 250/9 approaches the vehicle road-bridge. Flanking troops give the all-clear. |
|
