OSTHEIM
A grim scene in Ostheim were an SS soldier lies in the street with their SturmGewehr '43 attack rifle. The weapon was a new addition to the German's arsenal; only a third of the 525,000 produced made it to the front. German units operating around Colmar included elements of the 748th, 760th and 728th VG regiments along with a newly-arrived 2nd Mountain Division.
