AXIS FORCES PM BRIEF (if Germans hold the bridge in the morning)
Soldiers of the Reich, it has been a close run thing but we have fought of a ferocious assault by the men of the allied airborne forces, our intelligence suggests that allied armour is moving up from the south and that a further airborne drop may be arriving this evening. It is imperative that we finish off the allied forces in Arnhem with a swift killing blow and mop up any enemy forces before facing this new threat.
Your orders are to form emergency kampfgruppe units and sweep and clear the town of any enemy soldiers and hostile partisans.
It is vital that we secure these key locations:
The Hartenstein hotel which we believe is being used as allied HQ
The Oosterbeek church which is being used for artillery spotting
The rail marshalling yard to ensure our re-enforcements arrive safely
The Arnhem national bank
