"Men! This is the home stretch! You have performed admirable work sifting through the rubble of the Oberkommando, recovering all that is of value, and now we are almost ready to return these precious items to their rightful owners: Our brave leaders of the Third Reich! It is not glamorous work. It is, however, the most crucial part in fighting terrorism. Facilitating the return to the order and stability our civilization was built upon. Hold your head high and finish the mission."
