"The men of the 1st SS Motorized Infantry Regiment are yours to command. Germany is counting on you to bring swift victory in Greece."

"Your men are some of the most dedicated fighting men in all of Germany and will follow you into battle with unquestioning loyalty."

"The infantry platoons of the SS use trucks to keep place with the advancing panzers. The tanks are the tip of the spear, but the infantry are the ones who make the gaps to exploit and follow up to secure the ground."

"Your platoon is full of volunteers and your equipment is the best available to the German military."
