HEUMEN BRIDGE
KG Greschick managed to push to the north on the west side of the river, however the allies are still
in control of the bridge. The support of KG Stargaard might be need for the final push.

German losses - 2 + 4 MIA
Allied losses - 9 + 3 MIA

----------

BLANKENBERG BRIDGE
With 1/508 badly beaten in previous attempts to take the bridge here, the german garrison launched
an counter-attack through north. Last of the allied troops were caught in the open and after a short
fight forced to surrender to the germans.

German losses - 0
Allied losses - 2 + 5 MIA

----------

HATERT BRIDGE
504/82 that had fought here on the morning of the 18th and pulled out after beating the german garrison
had to now come back and recapture the sector from KG Fustenberg. The battle played out almost identically
to the one fought in the morning, the allies secured the west side of the river before trying to get over the
bridge. The germans held the east side with the support of an MG34 shooting down the whole lenght of the
bridge. Parts of the bridge fell to enemy hands, but KG Fustenberg should be able to hold their side of the
river with ease.

German losses - 0
Allied losses - 11

----------

RAVENSTEIN
Nothing really to report here. Enemy kept quiet in the town, the two teams of infantry I had in the town
from last battle shot a US sniper towards the end.

German losses - 0
Allied losses - 1
