Armee-Abteilung Narwa is a fictional story. The name identifies an
actual department of German Army Group North that stubbornly held
the Russian Army from breaking through at Narva, Estonia.
German Army Group North requested approval to begin an organized
retreat from Leningrad to Estonia in late 1943, but had been
ordered by Hitler to hold. When the Russian Army broke through the
Leningrad Blockade in late January 1944, the resulting colossal
German Army retreat to the west was incredibly disorganized. The
Red Army pressed all the way to the Narva River, where they were
stopped by Armee-Abteilung Narwa. For the next few months,
stragglers from the numerous German Divisions bypassed by the
Russians at the Leningrad Front kept fighting their way back to
join the German defenders at the Panther Line on the Narva
River.
Armee-Abteilung Narwa focuses on individuals from both sides of
the various battles during the confused German retreat. Experience
the vicious "Total War" that was fought on the Eastern Front during
WWII, through the eyes of participants on both sides of the
conflict.
