Overview:

The conclusion of Operation Bagration left the remnants of Heeresgruppe Mitte on the west bank of the Vistula by the second week of july. With Lvov falling to the Polish Home Army, it was clear to OKH that only by counterattacking the 6th Guards Tank Coprs' bridgeheads, could the fall of Poland be avoided. Reinforced with five divisions including the 16th Panzer and Tiger II-equipped Schwere Panzer Abteilung 501, Harpe launched counterattacks at the Russian bridgeheads. Despite being outnumbered, the 6th Guards Tank Corps held their positions, even knocking out ten Tiger IIs.
Attacker: German (Elements of Panzer Division 16 and Schwere Panzer Abteilung 501)

2021-07-14(A) O Ramaille vs German winThe Russians defended low waiting for the tank brigade to reinforce them. As the Germans advanced unmolested with a panzer pincer move from the North and the South, the Russian guns fired at the infantry without effect. The Panzers rushed forward to overwhelm them achieving a Russian malfunctioning gun. However, they recovered quickly and destroyed a Panzer IV and a StugIII but failed to harm one of the Königstiger. The Russian tank brigade arrived from the North and surrounded it. The Tiger II survived a rear shot (dud) and helped with ROF destroyed two T34/85 and one IS-2, only to be shocked and thereafter destroyed by Russian artillery gunners. More than half of the panzers remain and the last IS-2 was shot down by panzerfaust. Without armor support, the German infantry pushed forward and with the help of panzers put several Russian units in failure to rout. Russian only hope was now to defend in close combat and gain time. They stuck the Germans in melee at first, but the Panzers fired in the two melees, routing everyone but allowing to disperse the last defenders. A German victory by turn 7.
