Operation Rosselsprung

[Red Dog]

For those who don't know, that was the parachute and glider drop by the SS 500th para battalion to capture Tito (Yugoslavian partisan leader).

Before I go through all the trouble of working on this, has anyone already done this battle?

If not, anyone know of a good source of maps for Drvar and the surrounding area?
I've tried searching, but all I can find are political maps.

Not to my knowledge, I looked at that incident a while back but I too gave up as their was no map or supporting data. Might be able to obtain info from a Yugoslavian war game club, university or historical group/museum. I've forgotten where Drvar was? Which region?

This miniature battle may have some clues on Rösselsprung

At Der Kessel for CMBB, Dan Brown's DZXray is based on this story.

I have converted it to CMAK but haven't finished playtesting.
