222 Their Plan

Wolfe searched the document storage box in the tank and found it empty, but there was an ammunition can in the Commander's position, the seat at the top of the tank turret, where the vehicle's team leader would be able to see out, that looked promising.

He popped it open and found it full of maps, order sheets, and a personal journal from the tank's leader, a Lieutenant named Merkel.

The journal he would take to the base to check over, but the maps and order sheets that were noted in the smaller notepad were much more valuable right away.

The tank commander had taken meticulous notes so that he could move to reinforce the other units in the area if he was called upon, so there were a series of location points for various units that Wolfe could use to plot their likely future paths, and he had even been kind enough to note down the basic components of each of the units.
