Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren of the Battlegroup Harmony,

In order to introduce myself swiftly: My name ist Emmanuel von Gottschall, acting Oberst as well as Generalsekretär of Die Weiße Rose, the organization I am representing. I don't know inhowfar I am telling you anything new when I quickly state that the Weiße Rose is a movement inside the greater Bundschuhbewegung, aiming at leading the Bundschuh to success against the Rheinland government again after a long time of inner turmoil.

As far as I was informed, your people and ours already had the pleasure of encountering each other at least once, when our former Oberst Helena Wunderbring paid Bering a rather brief visit. I have spent some time closely analyzing her message dump about this specific event, however there is frankly not much to analyze. There is nothing to be found in it that indicates who shot whom first, but only that a fight took place not soon after she had entered Bering

While it is usually a waste of time to try to communicate with one's enemies in my opinion, I am not entirely sure inhowfar you are in fact our enemies. In the meantime, our former Oberst Wunderbring has taken her leave in a rather abrupt fashion. Although "De mortui nil nisi bene" - "Say nothing but good of the dead" - is generally a good resolution, I harbour doubts whether Wunderbring was incapacitated due to severe stress back then and how much her words can be trusted on this matter. That is why I would like to inquire what really happened back then. Not as an interrogation, but rather as a first step to possibly solving this problem. In my eyes, hostilities between our two organizations will not be fruitful at all and will help none of us in our struggles.

In case the chain of events that led to hostilities happened differently and our Oberst indeed overreacted over whatever happened in Bering, I guess apologies in the name of Die Weiße Rose are in order.

In fact, there might be the opportunity of cooperation in the future, depending on where Harmony's focus currently lies. In case a liaison is sought by both parties, naturally an exchange of both our current plans and goals would be necessary to spot any overlaps where we could kick-start cooperations.

What do you say?
