"The Americans are approaching; we follow their progress impatiently on the radio, by intercepting messages reserved for the commandos. They cannot be beaten now. But it is up to us to do the impossible to speed up the progression of the bulk of their troops, to facilitate the advance of their spearhead, and, above all, to prevent the Germans from withdrawing to the Rhine in good order, with all their equipment.
How many human lives will we manage to save?
How many sons of Utah, or of Georgia, will be able to push open the door of their homes thanks to our action, in the near future?
Yes, I must fight for'Louis' and all these unknown brothers.
For each tank that does not make it, for every ammunition truck pitched into a ditch, how many soldiers will be saved?"
