6th SS Panzer Army



Lets pull back the curtain on the last German Army. 

I knew more or less the position of most of its Divisions and units. 1st SS has a firm grip of Spa and its King Tiger battalion is deployed here. 12th SS is holding the northern flank back to Francorchamps and 3rd FJD is holding the western flank. His defenses from Sourbrodt to the north in the Hoes Venn are pretty much as I expected. The 246th VGD is still moving up but is arriving in time as it looks like the 326th is starting to crack. 
There are a few other areas which also look weak but I'll look at them a bit closer in a close up map.

A few surprises though. 3rd Panzer Grenadier division is down south at Bastogne and Cesar is only using one Corps HQ (I SS pz Corps) to control all the Diviisons in the army. I SS pz Corps sorry I meant the II SS Pz Corps HQ is actually located down at Longchamps just north of Bastogne and has no units under command. I'm not sure why its there? The 3rd panzer Grenadier division which is at Bastogne is under I SS pz Corps command? LXVII Corps is in the Hofen area and also has no units under command. 



This has left I SS Corps with a formidable amount of Corps artillery under command. Of the 885 guns in 6th SS Pz Army, just under half of them (435) are Corps/Army guns. 





Close maps coming up soon.
