Sir, our pilots have successfully returned from their mission! They have taken six reconnaissance photos, apparently revealing a German base somewhere near the front line from which they appear to be coordinating their main assaults.
The base consists of several typical German buildings:
- The German Korpscommando, which it would seem is a Field Headquarters of some description; the Germans are using this buildings as a gathering point for their 'Pioneer Korps' – essentially Engineers. It is also being used as an observation post; the balloon is seemingly being used to overlook the surrounding area.
- The German Barracks, where the soldiers who defend the nearby area are currently stationed and trained. It is recognisable by the well - a structure used by the German troops not only as a primary source of water, but also presumably to help douse fires.
- The German 'Oberste Heeresleitung' (OHL); an Upper Command. Little information has been obtained about this building; we believe it is where the Generals plan their strategies, but details of these have yet to filter through.
We have seen the other factories before, the Tank Factory and Artillery Factory; they are also in this base, which may indicate a large-scale offensive with heavy machinery is imminent from this location. Indeed, it is clear they have already began production; A7V's and converted FT17's have been spotted in the immediate vicinity.
Be prepared! We hope our pilots can take further photographs during their manoeuvre next week.
