Overview:

With Berlin in flames one coherent unit continued the struggle against the rampaging Red Army: the notorious commando unit DORA II of the SS 7500th Bewahrungs Battalion, led by Unterscharfuhrer Porsch. Reinforced by a detachment of eighty assault engineers and stragglers from the SS Nederland Division, Porsch felt his unit was capable of a counter-attack. From 20-26 April his men claimed some 125 enemy tanks destroyed; seventeen were destroyed by Porsch alone. His group of 200 men continued to advance, aided by a handful of tank-destroyers, penetrating the lines of an enemy battalion and capturing its entire headquarters staff.
Attacker: Russian (2nd Guards Tank Army)
Defender: German (SS) (Anti-tank unit DORA II, SS 500th Bewahrungs Battalion and SS Division 'Frundsberg')
