Message from OKW HQ:

Date: December 1, 1941

Situation Report: The Fuhrer is worried about the speed of your advance. Our timetable has been met to this point, but enemy resistance is growing. Strong forces have been spotted in the area around mersa Matruh, which is directly in our line of advance. 

Operational Orders: Enemy resistance around Mersa Matruh must not be allowed to slow our advance. A swift victory is needed to hold to our operational timetable. Speed is essential here, commander.
