Despite a gallant effort, we were unable to reach the 6th Army. We just received word
that the entire army has surrendered. This is a disaster for Germany and
her war effort. We must now pull back our forces and regroup, hopefully we can
set up a new line of defense soon. You and your men will be sent to the rear
to rear where you can be re-supplied. We may need your command soon, as this war
may have turned for the worst.
