ORIGINAL: phoenix Tremendous. Shame (in the context of that rousing defensive song) that they're actually invading a foreign country....Watch out for those guys at Bucholz Station - that's all I can say. I've seen a few units around there hold everything up for hours on end...but you know that. You are nothing if not well prepared! Peter It was actually written in 1840, and referred to the crisis at the time with the threat coming from France. Hitler used it as the code word for the operation as it was part of his deception plan to make the offensive sound more defensive in nature. This operation is a case of the best form of defence is attack. This is not an invasion of a foreign land per se, they did that in 1940, this is purely a battle for survival, as their back are truly up against the ropes (or the river[:'(] at this stage of the war Bucholz Station, my first major objective. Ill be sure to pay it my fullest attention [;)]
