All,
Drive on Minsk
30 June 1941
1100 Local Time
Following 2nd Grenadiere Company's successful assault on the 28th, KG Klink went back into Corps Reserve, falling in with the endless columns of panzers, halftracks, staff cars, prime movers, and trucks streaming east. KG Klink came to a halt, and after 30 minutes, Colonel Klink and his XO, LtCol Schultz, dismounted and moved to the head of the column; "what's the hold up?" Klink's Recce Company Commander, Captain Wehner, was answering that he wasn't sure when the Adjutant, Captain Ginter, came dashing up. "Sir, it's come over the wireless; there is a bend in the road a 1/2 mile up ahead, a little village where some Bolshevists are holed up, harassing our columns. Herr General wants you to handle it."
"Sir, shall I take care of this for you," asked LtCol Schultz. "Nein, Schultz, all in good time! You, Ginter, gather some men from 1st Company and go clear out those pesky Russians."
A Soviet Maxim machine gun rakes advancing Landser.
German heavy weapons return the favor, pounding the village.
But Soviet mortars are proving deadly effective.
