Oberst,

We have managed to withdraw some forces from Army Group E through Zenica but they need time to rest and recover, you are to continue holding the town.  Soviet forces in the area have realised the strategic importance of the town and we expect them to mount a strong attack within hours.  Expect a strong assault with combined arms.  We are relying on you!
