All,

As you know, the French Blitzkrieg has been a complete success. Numerous inroads and territories were gained over the past 4 months and we are currently in the midst of consolidating our gains. An Allied counter-offensive is expected in the near-future and we are re-positioning to thwart it.

Our total strength now exceeds 65,000, a significant increase as compared to 45,000 at the start of the French campaign. They comprise of:-

o 1st SS Panzer Corps (60,000)
• 1st SS Panzer Corps HQ (2,000) (10)
• 1st SS Panzer Division (18,000) (180)
• 12th SS Panzer Division (18,000) (180)
