Herr Fieldmarshall ! Reichskanzler Speer is trying to make peace, especially with the western allies. Our whole strategy is focussed on this effort. However, the allies are asking for our unconditional surrender. Obviously, even after there Arnhem debacle they think they can easily be in Berlin before the Russians are. Luckily the Swedish diplomatic service has taken up contact with western allies, transferring our offer to restore the 1939 situation.  

It is your duty to stop the allies here, before Metz. Putting up a good defense here might stall their offensive towards the Rhine, giving us time to negotiate. We have only enough fuel for you to take ten of your units with you.
