Defense of Schwedt Bridgehead : ウィキペディア英語版 | Defense of Schwedt Bridgehead
The defense of the Schwedt bridgehead was a German 3rd Panzer Army operation on the Eastern Front during the final months of World War II. German forces, commanded by Otto Skorzeny, were ordered to prepare to conduct a counter-offensive. However they were forced to hold a bridgehead against expected numerically superior forces of the Soviet 2nd Belorussian Front (Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky) for 31 days. Their position was largely ignored during the Red Army's Cottbus-Potsdam Offensive Operation which breached German defences at Gartz to the north of Schwedt.〔see map p.162, Le Tissier〕 This was unexpected because it required the Red Army to cross the ''Randowbruch'' Swamp that lay between the Oder and Randow rivers. ==Background== The Germans feared that the advancing Red Army would cross the frozen Oder at Schwedt, about 60 miles north-east of Berlin. The Commander-in-chief of Army Group Vistula, Heinrich Himmler, was planning a counter-offensive from Schwedt. On January 30, 1945, he ordered ''SS-Standartenführer'' Otto Skorzeny to prepare for the offensive.
