Kradschützen Truppen

I have a vague plan for the upcoming game entitled 'Retten Rommel!' which I hope means 'Rescue Rommel!' in German.

Rommel is being flown up to the DAK front lines to consult with Fritz Bayerlein on his latest offensive. The Storch containing Rommel has to land in the middle of the desert after engine trouble. The pilot, Hanna Reitsch, manages to put out an SOS call giving their approximate position on the radio, before landing. Rommel’s HQ picks up the signal and dispatches a strong patrol to pick up their chief. Unbeknownst to the Jerries, the signal has also been picked up by an LRDG patrol who are currently escorting an SAS jeep column through the same area that Rommel has landed in. The race is on! Can the DAK rescue Rommel, or will the LRDG/SAS chaps capture the ‘Desert Fox’?

An addition for the DAK is a Kradschützen BMW 75.
