Welcoming the recently announced support of the "Hermann Goering Kampfgruppe", and now even more sure of forthcoming victory along the A438 (East) to Ledbury, Tenente Guiseppe "Bombasto" Eyasacrema of the "Corpo Truppo Voluntaire" has challenged the Reichsmarschall to an "artillery duel", or "Big Gun Shoot-Off":

Tenente Eyasacrema is confident that his well trained artillerymen will prove more than a match for the "brown shirted bully boys" of the Reichmarschall's SA Artillerie-Ausbildungsschule. Promised "a target rich environment" somewhere along the A438 (East), Eyascrema is prepared to wager "literally millions of lire" (i.e. at least a shilling or two) that his CTV Artillery will, during the course of their intended Saturday manoeuvres, "despatch more Reds and other such unsavoury types" than his German colleagues.
The Reichsmarschall has yet to reply to the challenge. It appears that he is in anxious consultations with Staff Captain P.R.Mann of His Majesty's "Information Bureau" relating to the latest salvo of propaganda from the Socialists and their allies:
 |
| A Socialist Leaflet satirising the Reichsmarschall's unique physique and love of uniforms. To general merriment, thousands of these leaflets have been littered around the A438 East. |
 |
| A second leaflet, inviting children (or their parents) to play a variant of "Pin the Tail on the Donkey", i.e. "Pin the Decoration on the Goering". |
 |
| Ouch ! The Reichsmarschall is not amused......... |
