Part 1 - The Fall of France
Mission 1. 11th May 1940, 1100hrs
Last night after fierce fighting our army has thrown the enemy back and taken a vital crossroads at Calonne-Ricouart which is just to the south-west of your airfield of Merville Calonne. We are in the process of fortifying the position before continuing our advance however equipment is only just arriving and the troops are still vunerable.
Your mission is to protect the area from enemy attack. British bombers have been active each time we have advanced so far therefore we will be prepared and make them pay a price for their actions. Intelligence informs us that the RAF are operating their bombers from the south and from test
Mission 2. 15th May 1940, 1530hrs
Our forces have smashed the enemy from Amiens in the past few days and we advanced gracefully along the main roads to Abbeville flanking the Somme without incident. This morning we lost several vehicles and tanks upon approach to Abbeville where the British are dug in to high ground copses and farms with anti-tank weapons and tanks, this was a surprise to our intelligence.
This afternoon we will use our Stukas to smash the enemy from these positions and our forces will enter Abbeville overnight.
Your mission is to escort our Stuka forces to and from the enemy position. Rendezvous over Arras and keep them safe. Watch out, the RAF has been active of late.
Mission 3. 21st May 1940, 1330hrs
Von Brauchitsch's ground forces are unstoppable, the enemy is in rapid retreat and those still fighting are being mopped up. The Tommies are racing to the ports but the roads are difficult due to damaged vehicles and traitors fleeing with the English. You have orders to engage enemy in ground on the Abbeville~Boulogne road in order to slow the retreat, many are trapped south of Wailly Beaucamp by our air power. Secondary orders are to Destroy any RAF aircraft in the area.
We are based at Arras but with the advance are soon to move. Our engineers have been working on a new model of Messerschmidt which has higher power and is fitted with cannon. 3 of these aeroplanes have arrived for our unit. We also have acquire 4 heavy fighters of the model Bf-110-C4 which should make light work of the Tommies.
Mission 4. 24th May 1940, 0500hrs - The Battle for Calais
Boulogne is under attack by 2nd Panzer and we have the remaining northern Allies trapped in the ports of Calais and Dunkerque. Intelligence reported that the British had docked a fighting force to break out, including a heavy tank unit, and this was confirmed with fierce fighting over the past day. The Englander has lost half of his Crusaders fighting 1st Panzer before withdrawing and later in an attempt to bring in more supplies at Gravelines were overrun. Schaal, commanding the 10th Panzers, has requested the Luftwaffe soften up the perimeter in order to secure victory, he has been severely weakened by a week of fighting and RAF bomber attack.
Goering has ordered Stuka's to attack the Englander but the RAF currently have air superiority over the port. Fighter units are requested to escort the Stukas to the front lines and change the attitude of the British airmen.
II./JG26 are based at Arras airfield and equipped with the Bf109 E-1 fighter. There are 6 cannon armed Bf109 E-3 machines available for the Gruppe. Be aware that Dunkerque is within fighter range of English bases and the RAF has been sending in their new Spitfire fighter against us. Our first experience is that it is a faster and more agile machine than the Hurricane that you are used to fighting, you must be careful.
Calais in ruins
Mission 5. 1st June 1940. - Fall Gelb
Thanks to the efforts of the Luftwaffe we have achieved a mighty victory at Calais and now we march on into Dunkirk, the last fortress of the British. The Fuhrer has ordered our Panzer forces to halt so that the final victory can be won from the air by our Luftwaffe, truly an honour.
We are still based at Arras where we will provide protection and support for our bomber units who will be attacking Dunkerque harbour and beaches from the south east In the past week several more cannon armed machines have arrived and are ready to be unleashed on the enemy. 10 of the fighters are now E-3 models.
Be aware that Dunkerque is within fighter range of English bases and we have been seeing the Spitfire in greater numbers on this front. Our first experience is that it is a faster and more agile machine than the Hurricane that you are used to fighting, you must be careful.
Mission 6. 12th June 1940, 1310hrs - Fall Rot
The British have retreated to England, Winston Churchill is claiming a success that over 300,000 soldiers were rescued but this is of course propaganada. Von Bock is heading south and the remaining British must be mopped up on our way to victory for as soon as Paris falls France will certainly follow. We will then deal with the British.
Last week II Gruppe of JG26 were moved forwards to support the southern war effort from Arras to a more modest facility at Abbeville. The Tommies are attempting to escape from Le Harve and so our great leader Goering has ordered the port be bombed to cause much damage to the Royal Navy. Yesterday HMS Bruges was successfully sunk, the RAF was nowhere to be seen so we will do this again today. Rendezvous with the bomber force over Abbeville and escort them to the target and home.
You are equipped with the Bf109E-1 fighter. 10 models of cannon armed E-3 are available today.
