Genossen,

After all the bad news we have had recently I am happy to report some positive events for once.

About a week ago the Libertonian Primary Fleet launched a strike against the Rheinland Military in Hamburg. The attack force consisted mainly of fighter-class vessel with a capital vessel left at the rear for support. Nearby Widerstand forces were contacted and we swiftly joined the Libertonian forces in Hamburg with a number of fighters and a gunboat commanded by Oberst Klugmann.

The results of this cooperation between the Navy and the Widerstand were truly amazing. Numerous gunboats and capital-class vessels fell to our joint fleet. A few navy-pilots were shot down and our gunboat got taken out of action as well, but these loses, while unfortunate, were small compared to those of our enemy.

The success of the operation led to a conversation between Fleet Admiral Roy Sanders of the Liberty Navy during the aftermath of the battles. The events of that day led us to believe it would be useful for the Widerstand to have a Repair Ship. Apart from us being able to use them for our own affairs such as the reparation of Zwickau, the Liberty Navy would benefit from us having such a ship to assist them when they operate inside Rheinlandish territory. If their ships get damaged or taken out of action they would of course greatly benefit from a repair ship, but it is too hazardous for them to bring such a fragile vessel all the way from Liberty. We however are closer by and know how to sneak around inside Rheinland.

I set up an official agreement together with the Liberty Navy's Vice Admiral Hayes via this channel. We were to receive two Libertonian Repair Ships and in return the Liberty Navy would get 12 Luger Type D guns and 3 Luger Type C turrets.

My Humpback freighter, the VWA|Zeughaus, was filled with the requested weaponry and with a considerable escort wing consisting of multiple fighters I met with the Liberty Navy at a remote location. Fleet Admiral Roy Sanders arrived with several fighter escorts and two Repair Ships, the Langhorne and the Levittown.

The weapons transfer went without problems and together with the navy we escorted the repair ships to Bruchsal. However a number of BDM agents discovered us and would have attempted to stop us probably if they could. Fortunately having both a Widerstand and a Navy escort wing they were quickly distracted while I continued to guide the Repair Ships to Bruchsal, soon rejoined by the escort ships who dealt with the threat.

Having successfully completed the exchange I made sure people got straight to work and make the ships ready for active service. As per request of Oberst Klugmann one has been moved so as to put them straight to use. I also made sure their transponders have been updated to indicate that the ships are Widerstandsreparaturschiffe and renamed the ships to Haymarket and Seeger. Both relate to pre-exodus American history to reflect their Libertonian origins.


The Langhorne has been renamed to VWA|WRS-Haymarket and was moved to Eltmann Outpost to aid in the recovery from the Munich Disaster.


The Levittown has been renamed to VWA|WRS-Seeger and was moved to moved to Zwickau Depot to aid in the recovery from 'Remember Zwickau'.

That concludes my report. I am convinced these vessels will be valuable assets to our cause and our cooperation with the Liberty Navy appears to be more fruitful than ever.
