I must apologize in the name of the Oberkommando. The Files for promotions of Herrn Riese had been sent to the wrong personnel and the designated Unteroffizier lost them. He has been dismissed from duty, no worries.
Upon consultation with your Kommandant, and formal review of your record of service by the Promotions Board, Das Oberkommando of the Rheinland Military decided to announce the following promotions:
Flieger Karsten Riese promoted to Oberleutnant, with all duties, responsibilities and privileges entailed. You are ordered to report to the Oberkommando for your next assignment.
Congratulations on your promotion gentleman, may you continue to honour and protect the fatherland with your service.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!
Hochachtungsvoll,
Karl-Heinz von Thielau, Erzherzog zu Stuttgart
Großadmiral der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
Governor of Stuttgart
