Caen, French S.S.R.
July 25th, 1942
"Me and the others, I'd say we're doing pretty good. Not good enough for Rorke, But nothing is for him, not even the countless Men and Women Elsa saved thanks to her healing ability. Dad told us the war could go on for another 3 years, maybe more if Paris and Berlin aren't Liberated by the end of this year. I'm sorry to tell you the truth Ellie, but you know I'd never lie to you. I just hope you'll still be there when I get home."
Logan, Keegan and Elsa are shown talking to each other at an Allied FOB.
"Schmeling versus LaMotta?" Keegan said suddenly.
"Schmeling would've KO'd LaMotta." Elsa replied.
"No way." Logan interjected "And Schmeling's a German. I'd shoot him in a heartbeat."
"Oh really? You should tell that to the Bundeswehr when they get here." Keegan suggested sarcastically.
"Sorry, I just... My grandfather fought in the Hundred days offensive, killed by a lone German sniper 11 days before it ended. He was that close to coming home."
"...I'm sorry, Man."
"I'm just glad that they're on our side now, Fighting to free their country just like the French, the Polish, The Italians and the Norwegians."
"Not to mention if it weren't for them, they probably wouldn't be." Elsa added.
"What do you mean?"
"January 30th 1933, Weimar Republic. The day the Nazi party leader, Hitler, was going to be appointed chancellor, but the small yet 100,000 strong German army Launches a raid on the Reichstag, Arrests him and his chain of command. At first they were condemned by the league of nations but after proving that the Nazis planned to burn down the Reichstag, blame it on the Communists and ban all other political parties, well, next thing you know the new German Federal Republic Joins the League."
"They stopped Germany from becoming a Dictatorship." Logan said, Summarizing what Elsa just said.
"Exactly."
"OK, What about Louis versus Robinson?" Keegan asked.
"If we're talking 1938 Louis, Robinson wins hands down."
The trio looked to see David walking over.
Logan smiled and gave his Brother a hug.
"Hey, Look who's back for more." Keegan said.
Logan released David, who promptly embraced his wife.
"Thought you were off for another week." Said Logan.
"Not after I heard a bunch of tough Men and Women were about to take Marigny." David replied.
"Well, Playbook's working. This rate we'll have Paris and Berlin by Christmas" Keegan said.
"Glad to have you back, Private." Merrick said as he and Rorke appeared before the 4 soldiers from behind Logan, Elsa and Keegan.
"Good to be back, Sir" David replied.
"All right, fellas. We got a unique opportunity here. This is our chance to break out of Normandy. It Won't be easy, The hedgerows are heavily defended and we got reports of Soviet T-34 and T-44 tanks in the area."
"T-44s, Sir?" Asked David.
"New type of Soviet tank. They're faster than the T-34, and they've got much greater armor. Which is exactly why the Bundeswehr are assisting us on this operation. With their tanks on our side, I like our odds just fine. The quicker we get to Marigny. We hold and secure Marigny, We own the roadways. David, Anything to add?"
"Only that I'm honoured to be fighting alongside the Germans and their badass tanks, Sir." David added as a German Tiger I Passed behind Merrick followed by another and another.
Merrick looked at the passing tanks and the turned to his squad.
"Let's Move!"
Overhead, Allied planes from the USAF, RAF, RCAF and the German Luftwaffe flew to engage the enemy.
