Dear Mystery Man (Major General William Joseph Donovan)
I just woke up from a really horrible nightmare - the 3rd one tonight. I can't get the gruesome images of the failures of Dieppe out of my head! Thankfully, you have convinced me that we will be prepared for this battle. With our advanced, well-trained troops and our plethora of heavy artillery, where could we possibly go wrong? Our soldiers are braver . . . what's left of them, at least. All in all, we are prepared, aren't we?
Enough of this romantic banter.
Now for your update from behind the German front. I have been having a regular afternoon tea with General Erwin Rommel, who noted that I am quite a fine German boy . . . so I've been able to milk some information out of him. Under his direction, they have been constructing the "Atlantic Wall", a group of defences that run from Denmark to the Franco-Spanish border. It is vital that you warn your paratroopers that German engineers have strung wires across low-lying areas in order to stop gliders from landing. Try to steer away from these areas.
This is all I have been able to muster since the last time I wrote;
BAISERS,
Agent Trooper Scooper
