Konflikt im Osten
Feldgendarmerie Obergefreiter Kleitz Borman

Today, we were stationed at a border outpost in the Ural Mountains. The past several weeks had seen heightened border escalations with the Soviets, and the local division commander has ordered us to take arms to be ready for any Soviet incursion. We had dug light trenches in the past several days, nothing too fancy. In the morning, the field kitchens brought up hot meals for all of us - a good meal of bratwurst, pastries and stew. We also received desert rations, canned chocolate pudding from Bavaria.

Two tanks from the armored recon detachment were brought up to the borders in the evening. The Jagdpanzers took up positions a few meters behind our position overlooking the valley road. There were photographs of Soviet tanks massing near the borders, and Moskau was not intent on having any sudden breakthroughs.

Life on the border was boring and slow. We commonly played games of cards to pass the time. If it wasn’t cards, it was football we listened to on the radio. If we were lucky, we would have a television to watch it on.

“Bavaria oughta win this round!” shouted one man. “Frankfurt is going to take them out surely! Bavaria’s defense is too weak on the right flank, Frankfurt can just pass the ball on the left!” Shouts another. Team Frankfurt has always been better at offense, but Bavaria was one to not be missed when it came to their defense. It would be an interesting match - for sure. We were all huddled around the television when we heard a boom echo across the valley. We rushed outside to see a column of smoke in the distance. I grabbed my rifle quickly, but was thrown back when an explosion ripped through the air. An artillery shell landed directly on one of our tanks, destroying it. One of the steel plates flew into the shack that I had just occupied, leading to the shack being set on fire.

Surely, death had only just been temporarily avoided. Ears still ringing - I took aim through the scope of my rifle to only witness groups of Soviet soldiers storming the border outpost. Tanks accompanied them - and we now only had one. The firefight started almost immediately, there was no time to rest. I remember when I was young, my father told me stories of how the Soviet charges terrified the German soldiers. Barbarians, in brutal hand to hand conflict. I was determined to not die in such a fate.

We fired without haste. As long as you were firing - you were bound to hit something. I didn’t know what overtook me, either it being fear or determination. Either that of the Soviet menace, or the will to destroy it. No matter how many shells, bullets, and grenades we threw at them - they continued to come. They charged up the hill and I suddenly saw five, maybe six soldiers right in front of me. Without even thinking, I fired upon them - and when they grew closer, I engaged in hand to hand combat.

Fists, bayonets - it was brutal. The Soviet however was poorly trained - his mere benefit was only a temporary numerical advantage. One soldier managed to pin me down, but he was shot off of me before he could deal a final blow. When I got up, I attempted to fire once more - but an explosion ripped across the hill side.

My ears rang louder than ever, my vision dark and blurred. What had just happened though was a miracle. The Luftwaffe arrived and blasted the enemy down the hillside, forcing them to retreat in haste. We totalled up maybe twenty German soldiers lost, along with one tank to five Soviet tanks and maybe excess of fifty Soviet soldiers. It was a gruesome battle of which, we had no explanation for.

That night, we were quietly relocated away from the border. Some thirty miles from the border, we began to see many camouflaged tanks and artillery. It was evident something big was bound to happen soon. But for now, we were on our way back to Moskau to have some well-deserved replenishment.

The Soviet Attack,1961

"After we heard of an outpost earlier in the day,my unit had decided to plan out an ambush while the Germans were off their guard.

We planned it out by bringing 10 tanks and 300 soldiers to help take the outpost,but it wasn't enough.We were preparing for the invasion for a few nights before the eventual attack,and once it was set up,we decided to attack on a night that was snowy so we could have more camouflage.Then,the day came.February 31st,the day of the attack.We moved quietly and swiftly through the snowy terrain while we made sure to stay in the dark.

We heard them,they were cackling and talking in German. "F**king Krauts" said soldier Ruslan Medvedev. "Calm down,Corporal Medvedev." i said while preparing the tank shell for launch.I gave the tanks shell to the Tank commander and then he fired. "Charge!" i said as we headed toward the outpost.The ensuing skirmish was bloody,men were being killed left and right and i was shocked.How could we be losing? Didn't we bring more troops?

We kept fighting until the Luftwaffe came and shut us down.Some men left behind to cover the retreat while the rest of us retreated.We had got out just in time and headed back to the outpost in Tyumen.We had gotten the causality report soon after.50 Soviet soldiers dead,5 tanks destroyed.The battle was no good.I am scheduled to meet with Khrushchev soon for a reason i do not know.I hope their lives will be avenged with greater blood from the Krauts across the Urals."
