Re: Fearless Morning
Miller looked wearily at the two younger officers opposite him, "Well," he said resignedly, "if we're to be on our own there aren't any two men I'd like beside me. We need to tally our assets and get the hell out of dodge."
He looked at Winters and said, "OK, I want a list of vehicles and key equipment we have. Give me some vehicle crew listings and we'll get on the road. Stuart, you'll be scouting forward with the BDRM. I want you to see if we have anyone with Polish or Russian skills to go with you."
"As far as I can see, heading west at present will be suicide so any escape will take us across the Warta and as far as I know all the bridges are down or in enemy hands. A few days ago I surveyed a reservoir on the river that was intact and crossable by what we have. I intend to scout that out, cross there if feasible and then run for the Krakow Highlands. There we'll rest up, try to find the means to brew our own fuel and reassess our circumstances then."
"That's the general plan but I'm not wedded to it so if you have any other ideas, speak up and we'll discuss them."
