Hermann was...surprisingly calm and patient while the Gefreiter was speaking. As he finished his speech, Hermann stood up and walked to the cupboard behind his chair.
"Consider yourself forgiven for this, Gefreiter." - said while searching for a letter. "I'm going to send you away, though..." - he found what he'd wanted - "...definitely not home."
Hermann put the dark green envelope between him and the Gefreiter on his desk. Let's do this fast, before I change my mind. He took the letter out and handed over to the Gefreiter.
"Desperate request for help from Battleship Westphalia."
