“Tigers in the Snow” refers to a World War II battle scenario featured in Memoir ’44, inspired by real events during the Soviet offensive toward the Baltic States in late 1944 to early 1945. It depicts a clash between Soviet forces and German units, including Tiger tanks, during the Red Army’s push to cut off German Army Group North.
Set in winter conditions, the battle represents the brutal fighting in deep snow and forests, as the Soviets tried to encircle and destroy retreating German forces. The Germans, equipped with heavy tanks like the Tiger I, mounted desperate counterattacks to delay the Soviet advance and protect key withdrawal routes.
The scenario highlights the harsh weather, difficult terrain, and fierce resistance that characterized the Eastern Front. Despite German efforts, Soviet momentum continued, eventually isolating German forces in the Courland Pocket and tightening the Red Army’s grip on the Baltic region.
