KG GRIFFON ORDERS-15 May 1945


Despite Der Furhers best efforts to garner surrender out of the trapped Allied Forces, they have refused to come to terms. We are now facing an enemy much better prepared for the assault to come. We, in concert with AG Rommel are to commerce a massive assault on what has become known as PATTON”S POCKET. The frontlines at present run north from our position east of St Nazaire to Rennes to St. Malo on the Channel.

Our task is to punch a hole through the American defenses and hold this breach open for Div to pass though and onto St Nazaire. Initial contact will be made on Route 773 in the south of our sector. We will advance in loose column along 773 under smoke and behind a suppressing barrage. Column will hold until our Engineers remove the mines off our route. Once we transit the minefield the column will pivot right at the first crossroads and fan out and take the high ground along the north/south road. The north most crossroads must captured as well.

AG Rommel has attached to us for this attack the following assets:

2x Recce Gps
2x Panzer Engineer Kps
6x 17cm Btty
2x 12.2cm Btty
1x 75mm Btty
Plus
2x Maultiers 15cm Rct Btty w Ammo

As most of you know we have a new PzGren Kp posted to our KG. They will have the honour of leading the attack once though the minefield.

Good Hunting Men.
