Excellent work, Comrade! Your regiment has secured a bridgehead over the Weser and the follow-up forces have poured over the NATO rear and reached Ruhr in a matter of days. West Germany has signed an armistice and the war in the West is over. Your regiment will travel to Baku, with the remainder of your division, for a refit for the drive to the Persian Gulf. You will be awarded a Medal of the Hero of Soviet Union for this achievement, Comrade!*
