"Mr. General,
All available means must stop occupying enemy beaches and prevent Caen capture. There is no time to lose!

Operational tasks:
- 21PanzDiv must secure the coast east of the Orne River and develop into starting positions.
The 12SSHitlerjugend of 352InfDiv secures the main items around the city, as well as the airport area southwest of Caen.
- PzLehr secures the starting positions at Tilly sur Seules.

9.06.1944 is expected to reach II KorpPanz SS (9SS Hohenstaufen and 10SS Frundsberg)
- PzLehr and 9SS grouping will hit the Bayeux.
- 12SS and 10SS will hit Bretteville-l'Orqueilleuse.

I am sure that the dedication of your soldiers will achieve your goal - to push the 2nd British Army into the sea.

Good luck
Feldmarschalek Erwin Rommel "
