=¤= 1. Army Group =¤=
(A detailed look at a German army Group)
The 1. Army Group Was formed in East Prussia in 1938. Initially tasked with defending this German pocket, it was based on 4 Inf. Korps and 1 HQ.
Each korps consist of 3 Inf. Divsions with attached Eng. Brigades. All korps leaders have been chosen for their ability to lead an
Offensive operation.
The Leader of Army Group 1 is the General Von Leeb.
noted for his ability to lead both
Offensive and
Defensive operations. (in the generalstaffs wargame simulations that is...)
Now when war has broken out the Highcommand has activated 1st and 3rd Korps from 1. Army Group for offensive operations.
1. Army Groups HQ, have been promised heavy airsupport for the attack and hopefully the Eastern river can be used as a defensive terrain if and when the Poles Lauch a counterattack.
