SOLITAIRE ASL - In order to attack the enemy forces still blocking the bridgehead in the back, Steiner decided to create a reconnaissance kampfgruppe made up of the Recon Battalion and the motorcycle companies of Westland and Nordland under command of Recon Battalion CO Sturmbannführer Baron von Reitzenstein. Roaming during night, they stumbled into a Soviet reconnaissance party and by the time the sun rose they were completely intermingled. When the dust cleared a mass of Soviet vehicles were captured.
Attacker: Russian (Reconnaissance elements)
Defender: German (SS) (Kampfgruppe von Reitzenstein)
