OPERATION BALDR APPROVAL

Document Text:
Dr. Vogel,

It is my responsibility to inform you that the Reichstag has officially approved your proposal. You may begin preparations to send a military task force through the dimensional aperture at Endstation. Should the war continue on its present course, the survival of the Reich must be ensured.

This undertaking was christened “Operation Baldr” by the High Command. The reference to the Norse god who rose after death is not lost on me.

For obvious reasons the entire operation is strictly classified. I only received clearance because Projekt Endstation remains officially under the command of Uranverein. There are certain technical matters only we can oversee. I am to facilitate the effort in any way I can, but the actual logistics and manpower fall to the newly created Task Force Baldr -- under the command of Gruppenführer Müller.

Make ready, Vogel. Requisition whatever you need as soon as you can. I estimate Task Force Baldr will be fully assembled and on your doorstep roughly one month from now. Ensure you have a stable, persistent gateway established by then, because the Red Army is marching your way and we are running out of time.

This may be the last you hear from me. If so, I wish you the best of luck. We have come a long way from your original request to build a new type of cyclotron. We were established to harness the power of the atom for the Reich, but you may have tapped a power that outstrips atomic energy.

Frau Diebner and I send our best regards to you and young Angelika. Look after each other, old friend, for these are dangerous times.

For the Fatherland,
Kurt Diebner, Ph.D.
Director, Uranverein
