A cup of Brazilian coffee. A story.
Troops of Generalfeldmarschall von Leeb were rapidly approaching Leningrad.
In the evening, Generalfeldmarschall went to bed in a cheerful mood. In his mind, various options of vigorous actions followed each other.
In the morning, Generalfeldmarschall had a good breakfast.
As always, the Generalfeldmarschall's breakfast ended with a cup of fragrant Brazilian coffee.
Generalfeldmarschall took a sip from his cup. "What is it?"
"Ersatz coffee, Herr Generalfeldmarschall! A cipher-telegram has been received from the Military Supply Directorate. Supplies of Brazilian coffee have been temporarily suspended, Herr Generalfeldmarschall!"
Generalfeldmarschall pushed aside his cup of Ersatz coffee.
Without the fragrant Brazilian coffee, the northern Russian sky seemed gloomy and rainy.
He went into the headquarters building. "Report, Herr General!"
"Marshal Voroshilov is organizing the defense! The commander of our advanced tank group suggests making an attempt to break through to the city center! In case of failure, major losses are possible on our part!"
"What's your opinion, Herr Oberst?"
"The Badayev warehouses have been destroyed by our aircraft! The history of the art of war knows many cases of armies dying of starvation. Consequently, we can expect an increasing decrease in enemy resistance as the blockade continues."
Generalfeldmarschall looked up at the gloomy Russian sky. It was raining lightly.
"Prepare a detailed report to the Führerhauptquartier! Explain your thoughts on the situation, and suggest possible options for action! Request the opinion of the Führerhauptquartier!"
The communications officers arrived. Generalfeldmarschall moved into the next room.
