WAFFEN SS GROUND BRIEF
ALARM ALARM WARNING ENEMY PARATROOPERS!
Situation
We have just received warning of a mass enemy para drop on the outskirts of the town, although we are currently unsure of their main objective we must assume their intention is to capture General Model or possibly to seize the towns bridges. Our anti invasion training has made it clear to us that we must repel these invaders within 24 hours of their landing if we are to have any chance of destroying them without incurring heavy casualties.
Fortunately our kampfgruppe is at a good strength following our refit in the town and the motor transport NCOs assure us that we will have our half tracks operational and running within 12 hours.
Enemy forces: Allied paratrooper recce units have been spotted we believe these to be Polish or Canadian troops, beware the poles will not have forgotten our conquest of their country and the Canadians have a reputation for not taking SS soldiers prisoner
