In the next village I am called to the battalion leader. He is a captain, has recently taken over the battalion and is an East Prussian farmer in his civilian profession. When I enter the parlour, he is standing in front of a large map spread out on the table. Next to him is the battalion adjutant and my company leader, Max Müller. The captain turns to me: "Listen. We are army reserve[2] and are tasked with searching the area overrun by our assault divisions for straggled enemy remnants. Our battalion will therefore form two reconnaissance squads which will comb through the terrain and the towns on the left and right of our advance road. On the right side, this task will be carried out by a platoon-sized patrol on foot. The much larger area on the left will be searched by a mounted patrol. This mounted patrol will be eight men strong, and you will take its lead." Now he shows me on the map the route of march planned for tomorrow and the battalion's marching destination and the places to be combed by me. Then I am dismissed.
