The Zealand Campaign – Part Three – The Operational Orders

So this will be the last post for the week, but it will contain a fair amount of information - mainly in the form of links to documents that will assist in setting up the campaign.

I prepared an Operational Order for each side - I tried to make it look "real", but I've never been in the military so I've probably got it more than a little wrong!  The Soviet Combat Order style is loosely based on an article or two that I found, but mainly from a section in FM 100-2-1 on page 3-10 which talks about Division Command and Staff Procedures.

I'll provide all the links here - and they will also be reflected in the Battle for Denmark - Documents section on the right.

First up - the Soviet documents:

Here's a pic of the port at Faxe Ladeplads to give you a look at the primary objective and the landing beaches:

You can also see the Air Assault elements LZ between the two wooded areas near the top right hand corner.

Now the Danish documents:

Here's another pic of the port.  This time taken from the south:

Although this is replicated in the Map Sets - here is a picture of the planned campaign area:

Once again I'd be very happy for any feedback, corrections, additions etc.  Please feel free to have a look and let me know what you think.

Thanks
