We have to admit that the resistance that the Japanese have put us through our expectations. We did not expect them to raise their hands up, but on the other hand, the involvement of heavy fleet units - it is probably exaggeration. Together with the Berlin Command we have agreed that on Bougainville we will end our activities this year. We have achieved so many territories, actually almost equal to what we had before the War. Rabaul can wait. May the Lord
Will end the Solomon Islands - o New Britain we will worry later.
