Just before startingthe SteelDivision: Normandy 44’s Christmas Event tomorrow, wewanted to finish our Divisions’ showcase with the youngest (by the average ageof its members), yet most efficient German division in Normandy: the 12. SS-Panzerdivision “Hitlerjugend“.
今天的主角是诺曼底德军所有部队中平均年龄最为年轻、同时也是最为狂热的党卫军第12“希特勒青年团”装甲师。

ORIGINS
起源
Although the idea hadbeen around for some months already, the concept of recruiting a new SSdivision from “men” born in 1926 (meaning 17 years old!) and members ofthe Hitlerjugend (HJ)nazi youth organization was only ratified on June 10th, 1943. Originallyplanned as a Panzergrenadier-Division, it was intended as a “Young Guard”fighting alongside the “Old Guard” 1. Panzergrenadier-Division ‘Leibstandarte SS AdolfHitler‘ (LSSAH).
从1926年出生的男人中（这意味着他们只有17岁！）和希特勒青年团中征募一支新的党卫军部队的想法由来已久，但是类似想法直到1943年6月10日才被批准。原本该师是采用装甲掷弹兵师的建制，当做“青年禁卫军”被用来和“精锐禁卫军”——党卫军第1“阿道夫·希特勒警卫旗队”装甲掷弹兵师并肩作战的。
The ranks & fileswere to be an all-volunteer force and the teenagers recruited were to beat least 1,70m high for the infantry, 1,68m for the othersarms. At the time of their selection, the HJ recruitswere the best fitting & motivated “men” of an age group still untouched bydrafts. At a time when other SS divisions had to lower their recruitingstandards or press unwilling “ethnic Germans” into their ranks, HJ notonly quickly met its quota but outreached it.
该师的成员全部采用志愿兵，被招募的青年在身高也有要求：步兵必须达到1米7，其他兵种必须达到1米68。在该师组建的时候，“希特勒青年团”的应征者们正跃跃欲试，他们也是尚未被部队征召触及的一批兵员来源。在其他党卫军部队不得不降低招募的标准、甚至强迫“德意志人”加入时，“希特勒青年团”装甲师迅速满员并超过定额。
To furtherconsolidates the links between the HJ & LSSAH divisions,the veteran cadres needed to shape the former would be taken from thelatter, starting with the new divisional commander: Fritz Witt.Like him, all the regimental and battalion commanders, as well asmost company ones, were transferred from LSSAH, many of them beingpromoted to a superior rank to serve in the new division. Some of them werealready decorated figures of the Waffen-SS,such as Max Wünsche, Wilhelm Mohnke, Kurt Meyer, … men the HJ teenagers alreadyknew from propaganda literature and regarded as heroes and models. Thisinflux of veteran leaders provided HJ witha strong leadership but crippled the already decimated LSSAH whichwill never be after the second half of 1943 up to the standards it was before.
为了进一步加强“阿道夫·希特勒警卫旗队”装甲师和“希特勒青年团”装甲师的联系，后者的骨干力量往往从前者的老兵中抽调，其中最典型的例子便是指挥官FritzWitt。和他一样，许多“希特勒青年团”装甲师的团级、营级干部，以及大部分连级干部，都是从“阿道夫·希特勒警卫旗队”装甲师中抽调而来，并在新部队升职服役。很多人在党卫军战斗序列中已经获得授勋，例如MaxWünsche, Wilhelm Mohnke, Kurt Meyer等，这些人在招募过程中已经被宣传成了“希特勒青年团”成员所向往的英雄和模范。大量精锐领导力量的加入使党卫军第12装甲师拥有了强大的领导团队，但是使得党卫军第1装甲师本已困窘的情况雪上加霜，再也未能恢复到1943年该师的鼎盛水平。

TRAINING
训练
The division startedtraining in Belgium, near Anvers, from June to September 1943. Despiteenlisting its full complement of volunteers very quickly, HJ tooklonger than expected to be fully operational for many recruits were givena reprieve before joining the division to … graduate. The regular trainingregimen was mostly disregarded by the veteran LSSAH cadre who insteaddrawn live-fire, practical exercises and realistic combat scenarios.
党卫军第12“希特勒青年团”装甲师于1943年6月在比利时附近开始训练。尽管该师招募时迅速满员，但是该师比预想的花费了更长时间具备作战能力，因为有许多成员不得不先从学校成功毕业。常规训练方式受到老练的“警卫旗队”装甲师骨干们的唾弃，因此该师采用实弹射击和现实战斗场景训练。
It was during theirtraining in Belgium that the HJ teenagerslearned that their new division was to be designated 12.SS-Panzergrenadier-Division “Hitlerjugend” and, shortly after,to be converted into a full-fledged Panzerdivision. Declared operationalin March 1944, HJ wasmoved to Normandy, behind Caen.
正式训练的过程中，该师得知他们的建制由党卫军第12“希特勒青年团”装甲掷弹兵师变成了完整的装甲师。1944年3月，该师进入战斗状态，而后开赴诺曼底，驻扎在卡昂后方。

BATTLE OF NORMANDY
诺曼底战役
When the Allies hitthe beach of Normandy on June 6th, 1944, there was hardly a German division onthe Western front more prepared and motivated to meet them. At 2:30 PM on June6th, the division was ordered to counter-attack in the Caen sector with Kurt Meyer’s 25.Panzergrenadier-Regiment in the vanguard. Yet, delayed all dayby Allied air & naval bombardment, it wasn’t able to skirmish with theAllies before 10 PM.
1944年6月，盟军进攻诺曼底滩头。彼时，所有西线的德军部队已经在准备度和士气上无法和盟军相比。6月6日晚上2时30分，该师接到命令，以KurtMeyer的第25装甲掷弹兵团为先锋，反击卡昂区域进犯的盟军。但是因为盟军的空袭和海军炮击，该师未能在晚上10时前和盟军接战。
The next morning,finding Carpiquet airfield almost undefended and the 3rd Canadian InfantryDivision about to seize it, Meyer counterattacked and pushedthe Canadians back toward JunoBeach, only to be stopped himself by intense Allied naval fire.That same evening, eleven Canadian prisoners brought to Meyer’s HQ were shot inthe back of the head. The next day, the rest of the division reached thefrontline: Carpiquet would not fall to the Allies for another month.
On June 14th, Royal Navy gunsopened fire on the division’s HQ, killing commander Fritz Witt in the process.33 years old KurtMeyer was appointed as its successor, thus becoming theyoungest divisional commander in the German Army.
第二天，在发现Carpiquet机场几乎没有防御，并且发现加拿大第三步兵师正步步紧逼时，Meyer发动反攻，并把加拿大人逼回了朱诺滩头，直到盟军海军的强大火力迫使他停下脚步。当晚，被带到Meyer指挥部的十一名加拿大战俘被从后脑射杀。第二天，该师剩余部队抵达前线，这样，盟军在接下来的一个月里将无法夺取机场。6月14日，皇家海军炮击了该师指挥部，击毙了师长Fritz Witt。33岁的Kurt Meyer被指定为继任者，因此他成为了德国部队中最年轻的师长。

For the rest ofJune, 12.SS-Panzerdivision held Carpiquet and the Western perimeter infront of Caen. Although it held the airfield for over a month, despite constantbombardment and heavy losses, it wasn’t able to stop the British offensiveagainst Cheux and across the Odon river during Operation Epsom, in late June.Only at the very feet of the strategic Hill 112 were the British (temporarily)stopped, with the help of several other panzerdivisions.
6月剩余的日子里，党卫军第12装甲师守住了Carpiquet机场和卡昂的西部前线。6月下旬，在持续的盟军空袭下，该师遭受了惨重损失，未能阻止英国人在Epsom行动中夺取Cheux城、渡过Odon河的作战行动。英国人只在争夺112高地的开始被短暂阻止，不过此时第12装甲师得到了其他几支装甲师的援助。

Operation EPSOM (June 26th-29th, 1944)

CARPIQUET AIRFIELD
卡皮奎机场
About one weeklater, on July 4th, the Canadians initiated Operation Windsor to finallycapture Carpiquet and its airfield, defended by elements from I,/SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment26. Advancing in the wake of a tremendous artillery preparationdelivered by no less than 248 field guns as well as the heavy 380mm & 408mmvolleys from HMSRodney & HMSRoberts, the 3rdCanadian Infantry Division with the 2nd Canadian ArmouredBrigade in support managed to capture the village of Carpiquetitself after intense street fightings. But for the second part of theassault, to secure the hangars and runway, the Canadians had to attack in theopen. Facing them, the surviving HJ grenadierscould now count on the support of a dozen tanks and six 88mm guns: aftercrossing half of the open field, Canadian tanks were forced to turn back,leaving several of them ablaze on the runway. Later that day, a second Canadianarmored assault, supported by two Typhoon squadrons, met the same fate.
一周后的七月四日，加拿大人发动温莎行动，最终占领了Carpiquet和机场，击溃来自第26装甲掷弹兵师守军。在超过248门重炮和来自皇家海军Rodney号、Roberts号380毫米、408毫米舰炮的齐射下，加拿大第三步兵师协同加拿大第二装甲旅发动进攻，在激烈的巷战后占领了Carpiquet。但是在战役的第二部分，加拿大人为了夺回机库和跑道不得不在开阔地进攻。在这里，幸存的“希特勒青年团”掷弹兵们依仗十几辆坦克和六门88炮节节抵抗，在穿越了半个机场后，加拿大人扔下了不少燃烧的坦克撤退。当天稍晚的时候，加拿大人在两个台风中队的支援下组织了第二波进攻，但是遭遇了相同的命运。

But Kurt Meyer wasn’t a man to besatisfied with a defensive victory: during the night, he planned acounter-attack and gathered what forces he could still muster. Just pastmidnight, on June 6th, HJ counter-attackedto retake the lost positions. But the Canadians were no less determined to holdthe ground they had so costly gained: expecting such a reaction from theiryoung nemesis, they had immediately set defensive positions in Carpiquetand proved as unyielding in defense as their foe. Three timesduring the night the HJ grenadiershurled themselves at the Canadian positions, only to be repelled withheavy losses. Between each assault, the Canadians were subjugated to heavymortar & Nebelwerfer bombardment,yet held fast. But at dawn on June 6th, with the first lights, the SS came backsupported by LSSAH tanks:the Quebeckers from the Régimentde la Chaudière had to give up some ground this time … only tocome back and recapture it later in the day with the support of their owntanks. Finally, the fighting died between the two opponents, bothexhausted. 12.SS-Panzerdivision still denied the Allies the airfield andoccupied a threatening salient into their frontline. But at a cost oflives and equipment it couldn’t afford anymore.
但是Kurt Meyer却不满足于防御战斗的胜利，当晚，他集结了手头可以集结的兵力发动了反扑。6月6日0时刚过，党卫军第12装甲师发动反击，试图夺回失去的阵地。不过加拿大人同样寸土必争，战斗意志坚定。加拿大部队预料到了德国人的反攻，并在占领阵地后迅速建立防御工事，防御中证明自己也不是吃素的。“希特勒青年团”师发动了三次攻击，都被挫败。在每次进攻间隙，加拿大人遭受了重型迫击炮和火箭弹的轰击。然而6月6日凌晨，党卫军们在警卫旗队装甲师坦克的支援下再次攻击：这次，加拿大人不得不放弃一些阵地。当天稍晚，在盟军坦克支援下，加拿大人又重新夺回了阵地。最终，双方僵持不下，精疲力竭。党卫军第12装甲师仍然拒绝将机场拱手相让，但是付出了他们难以承受的代价。

THE FALL OF CAEN
卡昂陷落
Less than a weeklater, on July 8th, the Anglo-Canadians launched Operation Charnwood withthe objective of finally capturing Caen. Carpiquet airfield being toomuch of a nut to crack, the Canadians attacked further East, at Buron.The HJ grenadierswere well prepared to receive them with mines, anti-tank ditches, Panzersupport and even a full company of Panther in reserve ready tocounter-attack. But this time the fanatical teenager met their match:given the order to capture Buron at all cost, the Canadians did just that,stopping at nothing. By the end of the day, the Canadian assault companies hadlost 60% of their numbers but had secured all their objectives. ThePanthers, at one moment about to tip the balance of the battle, met a wall ofanti-tank fire from British Achilles, knocking out 13 out of about 17 of thecats!
不到一周后，7月8日，美加联军发动查恩伍德行动，最终占领了卡昂。Carpiquet机场由于太难攻克，加拿大人先攻击了位于东部战线稍远的Buron。在那里，“希特勒青年团”的掷弹兵们做足了准备，用地雷、反坦克沟和包括一支豹式坦克连的装甲部队准备好了反攻。但是这次这些狂热的青少年们遇到了对手。加拿大人接到的命令是不惜一切代价占领Buron，他们也做到了。当天结束时，进攻的加拿大连队损失了60%的人员，但是他们肃清了所有目标。几乎就要反攻得手的豹式坦克连遇到了反坦克炮火的猛烈攻击，在英国阿基里斯反坦克歼击车的攻击下，他们损失了17辆坦克中的13辆！（游戏里怎么没这么厉害woc）
The next day, 450 RAFbombers & fighter-bombers targeted Carpiquet airfield, which the Régiment de la Chaudière finallycaptured on July 9th without much fighting: with Buron lost and Caen about tofall, Meyer had understood that dying for Carpiquet would be useless, andfinally retreated his division South of the Orne, in violation of Hitler’sorders.
第二天，450架皇家空军轰炸机和战斗轰炸机攻击了机场，这次，加拿大人终于在6月9日比较轻易的占领了机场。Buron失守，卡昂即将陷落，Meyer意识到继续守卫机场毫无意义，于是他最终违抗了希特勒的命令，带领着部队向Orne南部撤退。

AFTER NORMANDY
诺曼底之后
12. SS keptretreating toward the Belgian border, harassed along the way by Allied pursuersand air force, as well as French & Belgian partisans. On September 6th,Meyer and his driver were cut from the rest of the division: the formerwas captured, the latter shot. HubertMeyer (unrelated to his namesake commander), thedivisional chief of staff, took over command up to the end of November, beforereturning to his former role and being replaced in command by General Hugo Kraas.
党卫军第12装甲师撤退到了比利时边境，不断受到盟军追兵、盟军空军、法国游击队和比利时游击队的骚扰。9月6日，Meyer和他的司机脱离了部队。前者被俘，后者被击毙。Hubert Meyer接管了部队，直到11月末重回原来的岗位。该师的新指挥官是Hugo Kraas将军。

It is Kraas who led thereformed HJ divisionduring the battle of the Bulge. Attacking on December 16th, 12. SS metunexpected resistance from the Americans, forcing it to bypass them to attemptto reach its objectives. In vain. Withdrawn from January 14th, it was given norest and sent to Hungary to take part in the attempt to free the besieged cityof Budapest. By the time they arrived, the Hungarian capital was already aboutto fall, and 1. & 12. SS-Panzer wereredirected to recapture the Hungarian oil fields. Ultimately, this attempt alsofailed in the face of the Red Army.
Kraas在突出部战役期间领导12师。12月16日，该师发动攻击，但是遇到了盟军抵抗。该师不得不绕过抵抗区域，不过最后这样的努力也是徒劳。1月14日，该师马不停蹄参与了守卫布达佩斯的行动。不过当他们赶到时，匈牙利的首都已经濒临沦陷。因此党卫军第1装甲师和第12装甲师得到新的命令，北裴王匈牙利的油田。最终，在红军的压力下，这个计划也失败了。
Retreating toward Vienna, it couldn’t prevent the city fromfalling to the Soviet too. Moving further West, the remnants from the divisionmanaged to reach the American lines in order to surrender to the WesternAllies.
撤往维也纳的途中，该师也未能使该城免于落入苏联部队之手。接着向西开赴，12师的残部设法抵达了美军战线，并向盟军投降。

INTRODUCING A NEWACE: WILLY KRETZSCHMAR
新王牌WILLY KRETZSCHMAR
12. SS-Panzerdivision hasbeen around for long enough in SteelDivision for its playstyle to be well-known already.Therefore, let’s focus on the one new feature which will be introduced by the ChristmasEvent: Panzer ace WillyKretzschmar.
党卫军第12装甲师已经被钢铁之师的玩家熟知,今天我们介绍该师的王牌坦克手WILLY KRETZSCHMAR
UnterscharfuhrerKretzschmar was an NCO in HJ‘s 5. Kompanie, Panzerregiment 12. Atank commander, he became a “triple ace” over the course of the battle ofNormandy, with at least 15 certified kills. But what sets it apart fromother successful German Panzer ace was the look of his tank: after anunexpected meeting with a Canadian artillery shell which hit it directly on theforward right track, Panzer IV “536” was immobilized for a day then, once itstrack was repaired, went back to battle with its right front corner completelytorn apart.
WILLY KRETZSCHMAR是“希特勒青年团”师第12坦克团第5连的军士，在诺曼底战役期间成为三料王牌，有至少15次确认击毁记录。但是他和其他德国王牌坦克手不同的一点是他的坦克的外观别出心裁。一枚加拿大炮弹集中了他的履带，使得他的四号坦克“536号”有一天的时间动弹不得。修好履带回到战场后，他的坦克右前方仍然是毁坏的。
