Bergen, Germany 1945-03-27 (5 others)

Overview:

After crossing the Rhine, most actions consisted of mopping up pockets of scattered and demoralized Germans. One such pocket was the village of Bergen, held by the 117th Replacement Panzergrenadier Battalion. A troop of Churchill Crocodile Flame-throwing tanks were attached to the 91 st Camerons to provide close support for clearing the village. The British forces were greeted by sporadic mortar fire from a hidden enemy as they inched their way forward through the wet and muddy terrain. Passing a rubbled farmhouse, the attack ground forward.
