"Kampfgruppe Wilhelmstrasse"
Berlin, 1945.
The final days of the Third Reich find four defenders thrust together in an unlikely defense of this relatively undamaged street corner. A grenadier began the day fighting on the extreme outskirts of Berlin in one of the city's numerous parks but hard fighting has pushed him into this more urban area. He is joined by a Luftwaffe flak crewman whose gun position to the north of the city was overrun by the advancing Soviets. A Volksturmann and his grandson, a member of the Hitler Jugend, are Berliners and live just a short distance from the major thoroughfare of Wilhelmstrasse. Heeding the Fuehrer's call to defend the city they join the two soldaten to form this ad hoc battle group "Kampfgruppe Wilhelmstrasse". Armed with panzerfaust and rifle they will fight the Soviet tanks from street corner to street corner in a futile effort to stem the tide of war.
