July 4th, 1945
I have agreed with you, that the continued American resistance seems absurd, Herr Field Marshal. But disturbing new reports, finally make sense of it all!
We have uncovered undeniable proof, that the Americans are building a new super- weapon, that they call the Atomic Bomb. Our invasion, has caused a significant delay, in the development of this new weapon, but this weapon explains the American resolve to continue fighting. They clearly hope to buy enough time, to finish their Atomic Bomb, and use it against us. This is grave news, Herr Field Marshall – failure here, could undo all our past victories...
Your new orders, are to push across the American Midwest, and crush all American forces in your path. Your first major obstacle, will be crossing the Mississippi River. Intelligence has observed, a significant massing of American troops, along the West bank, that will attempt to delay your crossing. Once you cross the Mississippi, you should expect significant resistance, from Armored Corps, which appear to be deployed, across the plains of the Midwest. To assist you against this massive concentration of armor, High Command has issued you an Auxiliary Panzer Maus unit, the largest tank the world has yet seen.
This campaign could last months, and the continent is huge, but take too long, and the Americans may have sufficient time, to complete their Atomic Bomb!
