0515_01_Stonne_Alt (H2H Approved) - PzC 12 France '40

Stonne, France, 15th May 1940: After the failure of the counterattack of May 14th with some infantry the French HQ is preparing for another attack. Stonne, a small French village near Sedan, will be the "Verdun" of 1940 for those French and Germans who fought here. During this day the village will change hand several times. For the French it was the starting point of their counterattack that was supposed to plug the hole created by Guderian at Sedan. On the German side, the position has to be taken by the Grossdeutschland Regiment. They must guard the flank of the Panzer Gruppe v. Kleist which is moving west. The 10. Panzer Division will come to their support.
