The Battle at Vierville is the pinnacle of urban fighting at D-Day. Dozens of buildings, many of them multi-storied, fill
the floor of a sweeping woodland valley, which is crossed here and there by the channel of rocky stream.
Every second of your fight in Vierville will be door-to-door, house-to-house, with the menacing speceter of heavily bunkered
valley walls looming over any would-be attackers. Vierville is a defenders dream, a place that the Allies will be forced to
face every man in street-to-street fighting, while your positions on the valley walls lay fire down on the approaches of your
enemies.
Dense forest growth, the most rugged terrain, and tightly packed streets lend themselves to some of the most intense engagements
of the entire game.
Defend Vierville and La Fiere Bridge from the Allied horde to break your enemy's ability to pincer the entire northern
end of the field from the valley.

Setting into motion the bloodiest beach landing of the Normandy invasion, the 352nd commander, Lieutenant General Kraiss was
introducing the 914th commander, (Oberstleutnant Ernst Heyna) to Obersturmbannführer (Lieutenant Colonel) Max Wünsche, commander
of 12th SS Panzer Regiment the morning of Sunday June 4, 1944. During the course of breakfast, Kraiss offered the SS Panzer
commander the chance to train with the 914th in coastal defence exercises. They finalized plans to conduct a reinforcement
exercise the next morning of the coastal defences manned by the 726th Regiment near St. Laurent. Wünsche jumped at the chance.
Two days later, the American 1st and 29th Infantry Divisions landed directly into a defensive position fortified by a trained
German Infantry Division.

Guardians of the southern gate of the Valley, the 914th defends the most densely constructed stretch of urban terrain
on the D-Day Field.
From the church steeple in Vierville, the players of the 914th can look out over the 1st Infantry Divison landings at
Omaha and guard their end of the Valley against an Allied breakout from the beach.
