Smolensk Estonia
July 10 1941
1000 Hours
We have recieved orders to delay and inflict serious damage to the Russian army here at smolensk. Hq has sent us 100 mines to deploy in front of our lines. It is 1000 Oclock in the morning and aready we can hear the enemy begining to stir. It is hazy today but vis is still around 900 yards. Should give our gunners plenty of time to lay into them as they approach and before they get too close.
Our orders are to inflict as much damage as we can on there armor while taking out as many of there troops as we can. Should be like a turkey shoot today as we have some of the best gunners any wheres.
HQ: X SS Panzer
Col: Karl Vogel Commanding
