"General,
Carentan fell, and attempts to rebound the city failed. Survivors of General Richard Schimpf's paratroopers defend the forest north of the city, and your mission is a rescue mission. 17th Armored Grenadier Division SS Gotz von Berlichingen sacrifices fiercely for maintenance of the crossing. Douve. You have to hurry - I do not know how long they will stand the green devils and grenadiers under Carentan.

Operational tasks:
- The 12SS Hitlerjugend will hit Carentan and then north towards Kampfgruppe Schimpf. Continue until the paratroopers have retreated south (hex 13,37).
- 17SS Gotz von Berlichingen secures the crossing on the r. Douve, and supports the attack on Carentan.

Field Marshal Erwin Rommel "
