You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have
striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The
hopes and prayers of football-loving people everywhere march with you.
You will bring about the destruction of the German war
machine, the elimination of Bayern tyranny over the oppressed peoples of
Europe, and triumph for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well
equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 2012! Much has happened since the Bayern triumphs of
2010. Our Stocker offensive has seriously reduced their
strength and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home
Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority , and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men.
The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to
Victory!
I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in
battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!
Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great
and noble undertaking.
