Army Group Headquarters,
I have heard no news from the 7th SS Gebirgs Division 'Prinz Eugen' since yesterday.  We can only presume that they are all missing, killed or captured in the area around Zenica.  There can be little hope of delaying the inevitable collapse of the front in the Zenica region.  I request permission for immediate withdrawl from the area.
