Neiwert (United Offensive)

Private Neiwert was an American paratrooper who served with the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment during World War II as featured in Call of Duty: United Offensive.

Biography
As German forces attempted to breakthrough the Allied lines in the Ardennes Forest with the intent of capturing the strategic port in Antwerp, Neiwert as well as the rest of the 506th were rushed to the crossroad town of Bastogne. The 506th arrived on 19 December and was placed on the northeastern flank of Bastogne to halt the German advance from Foy. As 2nd Battalion arrived on the frontline, it dug in, preparing for an attack from the 76th Volksgrenadier Division and 2nd SS Panzer Division. On 26 December, the Germans launched a large scale assault on the American line. Neiwert is stationed at the Battalion Headquarters during this time. As he does not partake in the defense of the frontline, it is likely that Neiwert is a rear echelon trooper (a specialist or part of a headquarters section).
