Message from OKW HQ:

Date: June 1, 1940

Situation Report: The French Army is making a last ditch effort to save their country. They have established a defensive line across Northern France in an effort to recreate the western front of the Great War. All efforts will be directed to overwhelming these defenses.

Operational Orders: You have been assigned to the area around Laon. All enemy resistance must be crushed before defensive positions can be created. A victory here will surely for a French surrender.
