Patton's Gambit German Side(Bluehand Raus!!)

[Bear]

Messina, Sicily is a few thousand kilometers behind the viewer.

Beyond the right edge (450 meters) is the beach where the US army landed last night.

To the left on Naso Ridge and the base of Mount Cippolo are US Infantry that crossed the highway, from the beach, in the pre dawn hours and are now dug in over looking Highway 113 and Brolo.

The German 71.PzGdr Regiment, Herman Goring led by General Hube has been on the road since morning in route to Messina.
They should be arriving momentarily, from the west (the top of the map).

PS. Hube doesn't know this, but he did such a smashing job here that he's getting PCS to The Eastern Front.
