Michalkow, Brest-Litowsk region*
July 15, 1944 (morning)*
*
*
Your orders are to mount an attack on the reduced Russian bridgehead near MICHALKOW.*
*
At first light it becomes clear that the Soviets have been able to erect one small size pontoon bridge in the vicinity.* 
*
It is of absolute outmost importance that the bridgehead be collapsed before any sizable Soviet forces can be concentrated in the area. Our own air and signal reconnaissance have managed to detect a Soviet armoured brigade moving in the direction of the pontoon bridge at this time. It will arrive soon. We can be certain the enemy will try to exploit any success in this area to the max. We are hard pressed on both your right and left flanks. A Soviet breakthrough at MICHALKOW will have grave consequences for our own forces.*
*
MISSION: Destroy the Soviet Bridgehead near MICHALKOW. If possible destroy also the pontoon bridge. Be quick about it Soviet tanks are enroute to exploit any weakness in our defence. We have virtually no reserves behind your Kampfgruppe. The Sicherungs-Truppen will not be able to withstand a heavy tank attack on their own.*

NOTES: Some artillery support has been allocated your sector on orders from Korps-Abteilung E. You will also have some purchase points to request additional support.**
