On the Prosen front, the headquarters of the 10th Army Group of the Southern Army Group.
General Boke, the commander of the Army Group, currently had a distinguished guest: General William von Frederick, the commander of the 6th Army Group, who had just poured a drink for the general when a communications staff officer burst into the command room, "General!"
General Boke frowned. Although displeased, with the troops in combat, it would be improper to ignore a telegram from the front—especially in front of a fellow officer.
Thus, General Boke gestured, and his adjutant immediately stepped forward to take the telegram: "The front reports that the Sede Division has encountered a major force led by Rocossov."
"We already knew Rocossov was coming, so the attack was thwarted today, wasn't it?" General Boke exhibited an unusual calmness in front of his peer, "When we heard that Rocossov had reached the front yesterday, I anticipated today's attack would be frustrated."
