Wesren Front Brussels: 1825 Hours 5/27/40 The Belgium Army has retired from the battle field with there tails between there legs. Was just in time too. All 81 mortars, Sig 150 and corp 150 were out of ammo. My 88 ATG were down to AP only and the AA platforms were just about out of ammo as well. This was a long range fight most of the way thru. Our losses were very slight due to the constant 77MM bombardment that went on all during the battle. We lost 25 men and 4 AFV which included 1 recon car 2 light tanks and one support tank. The enemy was caught out in the open and suffered heavy troop loss. Men 1496 Artty 2 and 14 assorted tanks. I must say even with the losses they kept coming at us right up too the very end. We have been ordered to the rear for rest and repair. There have been rumors flying around that we may be sent to France next month. OO LA LA those Frenchies. Commander XV Panzer Grenadiers: Col Rak Rokert
