Situation Report: Our forces have emerged from the Ardennes to the complete surprise of the enemy, who is now far to the north in Belgium. We must now drive to the sea to trap the French and British in Belgium.

Operational Orders: Our success hinges on crossing the river Meuse at Sedan. You will force a river crossing, drive with all speed across the Meuse and press on towards the English Channel.
