Report 05.11.824 A.S.

Guten Tag, Aktivisten,

due to the successes with the Logistikabteilung, the Hessen have provided us with a Vidar-class cruiser which is currently stationed around Bruchsal. This ship is under our command, yet, not under our colors. The Bundschuh has never been known to be an organization that is needed to be equipped with heavy firepower, due to our political nature. However, with the recent developments, it was clear that we wouldn't be of great use for our comrades of the whole revolution in Rheinland. This won't be the last time we will need to ensure militaristic stability for ourselves, that I can promise. Currently, about 200 Aktivisten of the Weiße Rose are on Wolfsburg. The reason behind this shift is that the Bundschuh needs to be prepared for battle. We will empower every Aktivist willing to not only become politically- but also militaristically active. That means that our pilots need to be taught how to steer and command capital ships. We will never be in possession of a fleet, that I can guarantee you, but we need to know how to utilize heavy units. The Weiße Rose will be the first Bundschuh party that is going to be fully capable of using cruisers and battlecruisers in the next weeks. Currently, the RHC-Odinson is still under full Hessian command, but I will be on the ship occasionally to ensure that our takeover is going to be without problems as soon as the Aktivisten have learned to command such a ship. Hauptmann Kreutzer has ensured that the crew is fully obedient to our command, though.

Coming to the next topic. We are close to become the leading party within the Bundschuh. The elections are close and our party has gained many supporters in the recent months. We will be known as the unifiers of the movement. Every Bundschuh shall be endorsed to become an Aktivist of the Weiße Rose, the only party of the Bundschuh that will stand for every aspect of our movement. Diversity will never create unity, but we will. Of course, we will never be the only ones, there will always be people that won't understand our principles and that is okay. However, while these people may always compete with us on a political basis, we won't allow them to gain a big militaristic power. If they wish to play a part in the fight against the government, we want to have a word in it. I am particularly looking at the radical parties of the Bundschuh. Their non-personal ships will be collected for the greater Weiße Rose Widerstandsbewegung. Their rights to speak and compete, however, shall not be infringed upon.

The last point is a bit more about our structure. I have overlooked our ranking structure and came to the conclusion that we look to much like the Hessen and the Rheinwehr. From now on, a Weiße Rose Aktivist will work through the ranks of Rekrut, Soldat, Kommandant, Hauptmann and Oberst. However, the Oberst will no longer pose as the leading figure. The reason is the following: While the Generalmajor of the Rote Hessen Armee is not the leader of the Bundschuh, the LWB or anyone else but the Hessen. It somewhat had the feeling of the leader of the Volksrevolution attached to it. Now that ex-Generalmajor Heinrich is gone, the Hessen are in the same trouble the Bundschuh was in before we came. The Volksrevolution needs a figure that everyone can orientate themselves after. Without an outstanding leading figure in the Hessen or Landwirtrechtbewegung, I want to be that person. I want to save our comrades from falling apart without proper leading orientation and idealism. As soon as the elections are over, I will assume the rank of te Generaloberst of the Bundschuh. That doesn't mean that I am going to command the Hessen or the LWB, but it means that the Bundschuh will, from that point on, be the idealistic revolution movement in Rheinland, a movement, where the other revolutionaries will look up to. It might increase our strength or it might not. But it will do one thing, it will give us the chance to lead every revolutionary on the right path.

Aktivisten Weis and Richtofer, consider yourselves Hauptmänner of the Weiße Rose. Aktivistin Frostpfote, you are, from this point on, a Kommandant. The Aktivisten that hold the rank of Leutnant will be immediately changed to this title as well. Frau von Falkenberg, you will join me on the side of the Oberst. There is a lot to learn about attending the leadership of a movement.

We will not leave our Hessian allies behind, the revolution will be continued as strong as possible. Generalmajor Heinrich, we are waiting for you. And now, Aktivisten, don't spend too much time in the bar and make our Parteivorsitzenden Herrn Lichter proud.
