BARBAROSSA
Airsoft Event
Date:
3rd, 4th & 4th September 2021
Location:
Rift Airsoft - The Ridge - MK45 4LG
Story:
Operation Barbarossa also known as the German invasion of the Soviet Union started on Sunday, 22 June 1941. Their ultimate goal included the eventual extermination, enslavement, Germanization and mass deportation to Siberia of the Slavic peoples, and to create more Lebensraum for Germany.
The operation opened up the Eastern Front, in which more forces were committed than in any other theater of war in history. The area saw some of the world's largest battles, most horrific atrocities, and highest casualties, for Soviet and Axis forces alike!
In the opening hours of the invasion, the Luftwaffe destroyed the Western Front's air force on the ground, and with the aid of Abwehr and their supporting anti-communist fifth columns operating in the Soviet rear paralyzed the Front's communication lines, which particularly cut off the Soviet 4th Army headquarters from headquarters above and below it. On the same day, the 2nd Panzer Group crossed the Bug River, broke through the 4th Army, bypassed Brest Fortress, and pressed on towards Minsk.
Objectives:
- ADVANCE – Army Group Centre and Hoth’s 3rd Army is pushing towards Minsk, a small Partizan pocket has been identified near Grodno and must be eliminated in order for a supply depot to be deployed.
- DELAY – The Red Army is retreating in order to regroup and have left a few professional soldiers behind with a large partisan force in order to slow the Germans advance near Grodno.

25th Juni 1941,
My Platoon, or whats left of it, is to be deployed to a hill top near Grodno. Orders from General Hoth are to secure the hill top that is being used as an artillery observation point by the Soviets. I witnessed first hand what soviet artillery can do!
The Luftwaffe have sent us this aerial photograph of the hill? What am i supposed to do with it other than plan? I do wonder if Goering knows what a joke the Luftwaffe is?
At least i can plan on the photo until I have an recent map from Company Headquarters...
We have a Recce section attatched to us and will be utilized for finding the enemy positions, strengths and weaknesses! That will increase the platoons chances of survival.

June 24, 1941,

At the Barbarossa event, make sure you pack your ammo with a name on it and learn to control your rates of fire...
Looking to book on to this event
German Orders have just been brought in via Dispatch Rider...
Its official, we are taking the Hill "69".
Soviet orders from Brigade have just been issued.
Prepare for attack! The Germans know we are here!
Map for Barbarossa's The Ridge is done...
These will be issued to Commanders and Squad Leaders only....
They can outlay their plans and so forth on the Map to brief their men & women if they wish.
Booked on as Russian. As it is a bit of a haul from up here I was going to come down on Friday and camp. Do you know what time we can get on site? (and is there some sort of complicated process to get through the gate?)
Thanks
Martin
