Strock: Herr General, Mussolini has requested your guidance, along with several reconnaissance, panzer, and artillery units to assist him in Egypt. Furthermore, since our Luftwaffe can deploy very quickly, you can bring all of your available aircraft. You and your detachment won't be away long and the rest will stay as a contingency force. I trust that you will have your men ready for the desert as quickly as possible. Good luck!
von Beck: Sir, there is a fighter unit and a bomber unit that are six hours away and two unmotorized infantry units that are about fourteen hours away to reinforce us. Other than those, the Italians have no more forces to commit.
