Getting from Amsterdam to the outskirts of Berlin had been relatively easy. The roads were good and the only slowdown was the abandoned cars still scattered about.

Major Miller had broken off to the east and south, staying far enough away to remain undetected. General Nikitin had sent half of his men north and the rest he held at the western outskirts of Berlin. The initial assault was to take place at 05:30 hours the following morning.

“Are your men all set?” Nikitin said using the old PRC-25 field phone.

While outdated, they were adequate in the current situation.

“Everyone is in place. We are as ready as we will ever be General.”

“Good luck tomorrow. Do not try to advance too quickly. I want to keep with our plan. We want to squeeze them. We don’t want to harm any more civilians than absolutely necessary.”

“Understood. I will remind the men just before we jump off. You are ready and in place as well?” Miller asked.

“Everyone is ready. Hopefully this will all be over with by tomorrow night.”

“Good luck General. See you at the Reichstag.”

“Same to you my friend. Good luck to you and your men. Out.”

“Roger. Out,” Miller replied.

He made one last check with the various outposts, checking to see that the men were alert and ready. He looked at his watch. It was nearly midnight. In five and a half more hours he would be going into battle yet again.

He had hoped it would never happen again but there always seemed to be someone that simply couldn’t play by civilized rules. Now he would have to risk his life and the lives of his men and women once more.

There was nothing else to be done but wait. He decided to get some sleep. The empty house that they had commandeered had four bedrooms. Two were being taken by the relief guards. He left his clothes on as he climbed into bed and pulled the sheet over him.

It seemed like he had just closed his eyes when one of the men came in and awakened him.

“Sir, it’s 04:30. You wanted me to wake you.”

“Yes, thank you. I’ll be right out,” Miller said and stumbled into the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face.

He didn’t much care for the face looking back at him from the mirror. His hair has turned mostly gray in the last year and he had even more lines on his face. He needed to shave but decided it was a waste of time. Instead he brushed his teeth with his finger and headed downstairs.

“Good morning Major.”

“Good morning Sergeant Winston. Did you get some sleep?”

“Maybe a little. It felt like I had just drifted off when Private Maker woke me up.”

“I know exactly how you feel. I didn’t even realize I had drifted off until he came and woke me as well. Hopefully this will all be over with by tonight and we can all get a good night’s rest.”

“Sir, not to be a killjoy but I have never had an operation go as planned.
