You did very well in face of a determinated enemy, Oberst. You managed to clear the road and capture your objective opening the route for our follow on forces. We just now got the word over the wireless, the link up with our comrades in Kowel has been achieved. Much thanks to you and your men spearheading our Division through the enemy lines. Very good work, the commanding general has recommended you for the Iron Cross first class. Now you are to return north to Dubowa where you will receive some replacements and other supplies.
