Operation Solstice (Alsace)

From Warlike

Q134894813




Operation Solstice was a German offensive operation in January 1945 and formed part of Operation Nordwind. The strategic objective of Operation Solstice was an area shaped like a triangle between the rivers Ill and Rhine near the towns of Erstein and Sélestat. The area around Erstein was to serve as a springboard for an advance to Molsheim, which was located about 15 kilometers further north, in the event of an encirclement of Strasbourg. The attack was to be launched from the northernmost point of the Colmar Pocket by a German infantry division reinforced with an Panzer brigade. In the early days, German troops made rapid progress and even surrounded and destroyed a French battalion. However, the French troops in this area managed to prevent the Germans from crossing the Ill, and as a result, the offensive quickly came to a halt. The push toward Molsheim was no longer considered.
