Major General Hans von Furmanred once used one division to resist a 72-hour non-stop attack by a Polish group army in the Battle of the Buzula River. After the large army arrived, he led an army of less than a thousand people.
The remaining troops launched a joint counterattack and cooperated with the army inside and outside to annihilate a Polish army-level regiment with more than 200,000 troops.
In that battle, everyone believed that the 30th Division under Major General Hans would never be able to withstand the Polish offensive.
Even Chief of Staff Manstein, who formulated the plan for the encirclement and annihilation of the Buzula River, did not believe that the 30th Division could survive until the moment the counterattack began.
In his plan, the 30th Division only needed to contain and attract the main force of the Polish army within the first 24 hours to achieve its strategic goal.
After all, it was a contest between a division and a group army, and this division was just an ordinary infantry division, which was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of firepower.
Anyone who expects such an infantry division to contain an army-level enemy for a long time is a complete military idiot!
However, Major General Hans did it.
The main force was crippled, and the logistics battalion and health battalion continued to fill in. If that didn't work, Hans took the command company and cartography platoon from the headquarters to supplement the front line. In the end, even the remaining hundreds of cooking soldiers in the division
He picked up the guns in the trench and took on the combat mission.
Even though Hans tried his best, the 30th Division's outer defense line was still forced to give up on the third day in the face of the huge strength gap between the two sides.
But then, under the deployment of Hans, the 30th Division, with less than a thousand men, continued to confront the Polish army of more than 200,000 in street fighting in Lodz, Poland's second largest city.
Until Manstein and Rundstedt completed the peripheral encirclement and pocketed all the Polish counterattacks, the 30th Division led by Hans still maintained its combat status, tough and tenacious!
Chief of Staff Manstein planned a game in which local sacrifices were exchanged for overall advantage, and Major General Hans made this local sacrifice significant, far exceeding the expected results.
A strong general like Hans is naturally bound to receive awards and honors after the war. The 30th Infantry Division was promoted to the first-level combat unit due to this battle and became a meritorious division, enjoying the priority of all first-level combat units, including material replenishment and troop recruitment.
All rights including supplementation and equipment distribution.
There is a story in the German army: On the Polish battlefield, the SS frequently competed with various departments of the Wehrmacht to seize supplies. After the battle with the 30th Division of the Wehrmacht, they not only did not compete with the 30th Division to seize supplies, but evened out their original strength.
There were not many transport vehicles to load the trophies for the 30th Division, and a logistics team was left to help the 30th Division clean the battlefield and inventory supplies.
The SS was able to send people to help count the supplies and send trucks to package and transport them free of charge. In the entire Wehrmacht, only the 30th Division enjoyed this kind of treatment.
"Why don't you take it off too?" The shirtless Reinhard raised his eyebrows and hugged Major General Hans: "I just saw you snickering. I'm alone."
It’s not as good as everyone else’s joy, take it off like me and let everyone have fun.”
"Ah?!" Hans looked at Reinhardt in disbelief.
Why is it all his fault again! Hans, who was originally going to come back to receive the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Silver Oak Leaves because of his great service in the Polish campaign, was now dragged into streaking because of an inadvertent expression.
"With all your delay, I really wonder if you are still the same iron-blooded division commander who fought against the Polish army in Lodz for 72 hours?" Reinhardt provoked the general with malicious intentions: "Show some of the blood of a man, don't be timid!"
What kind of logic is this? If you don’t take off your clothes, you will become a coward?!
For a moment, Hans really hoped that even if he was facing a domineering, crazy and stubborn head of state. Why did he, who had always been rigorous and serious, meet such a head of state with a strange brain circuit?
In history, Hans met a head of state with this kind of character. However, the head of state finally listened to Himmler's slander and threw him into prison.
Seeing that the dazed Hans still didn't say anything, Reinhard continued to implicate the innocent SS soldiers who were more likely to obey such nonsense orders: "Model! Come and lead the SS comrades to be good
example!"
Before Model, who was already an SS lieutenant general, could respond, several SS commanders behind him began to unbutton their buttons. After a few seconds, as the last SS officer who did not move,
Model also followed the trend and unbuttoned his collar.
"Manstein, do you still listen to my instructions?"
"Guderian, ask all the armored commanders you brought to take off their armor."
"Rommel, what are you staring at?! Do you want to fight with me again? Take off your clothes quickly!"
"Ross, let me take off your men! Gestapo officers are no exception."
"People over there, do you want me to name them? Take the initiative!"
"..."
Outside the president's residence, cameras had been set up and reporters from all over the world were waiting impatiently.
Everyone saw large groups of motorcades entering the compound of the Führer's residence in batches, including almost all the most famous generals in Germany today!
Except for SS Chief of Staff Steve and General Bock of the Wehrmacht, they were unable to return to Berlin because they had to be stationed on the Western Front to confront the British and French forces.
And basically all the other famous German generals have been gathered!
Walter von Brauchitsch was a man who used his troops steadily and was good at fighting tough battles. In the First World War, Walter von Brauchitsch won the title of "Germany's Stunning Needle" with his steady and steady fighting style.
The "German Fox" - Erwin Rommel, was known for his agile and changeable tactics. He repeatedly defeated more with less in the Spanish Civil War. He was also known for his risk-taking and eccentric swordsmanship.
"Rapid Heinz" - Heinz Wilhelm Guderian, who single-handedly organized the Wehrmacht armored forces, commanded armored clusters in the Polish campaign, and realized the armored assault theory of the trinity of firepower, mobility and protection.
Albert Kesselring led the German Air Force and completely destroyed the "Deutsche Eagle", the main force of the Polish Air Force, in two days.
In the Polish campaign some time ago, Manstein, the "strategic master" who made a surprising breakthrough and planned the entire Polish High Command, planned the largest encirclement and annihilation battle in history and became the idol of countless Germans.
In addition, there are the veteran Lundstedt, the new SS star Model, and Major General Hans von Furmanred, and many other legendary generals who showed their talents in the Polish campaign...
...
Alessandro, a reporter from Italy, set up his camera and waited for the unknown news that would happen next.
Around him, the SS soldiers and official reporters from various countries who were on guard outside the Führer's Residence were already overcrowded, crowding the sidewalks on both sides of the street.
However, the moment a group of famous contemporary German generals walked out neatly in a queue, the journalists who were noisy just now on the street felt like they had a huge duck egg stuffed in their mouths, and their mouths were rounded.
