German counter attack envelopment January, 1945


After the Royal Engineers finished their bridge, the Third Canadian Division took up positions in the town. The Germans began to advance to retake their town.

The Canadians begin to take casualties.

Canadian 9th Brigade HQ attempts to give orders to hold their line, amist the local Germans trying to get about their lives.

The North Nova Scotia Highlanders attack with their carrier platoon with the Highland Light Infantry in support.

The Germans push through.
Despite the Canadian tough fighting, the Germans were able to bring heavy fire down on them. The HQ elements were able to pull back after suffering very heavy casualties.
