The Owl on the Ghost's Shoulder

"Gutenmorgen, Herr Reichsfuhrer."
"[Sit down, Ges]," Battlefield Overlord Luther Waldemar said to his second in command.
Ges sat down on the large chair. The surviving five members of the Jagerverbande, the ones that survived the trip to the future, were welcomed with open arms into the 5th Column remaining here and treated as kings. The problem was in this future, they had never heard of the Reichsfuhrer der Schlachtfeld, but the men made sure they understood how important he was.
"[Feuer is still distraught over his brother's death and is unfit for duty.]" the Overlord began. "[I am sending you into the field.]"
"[Overlord, I don't speak English very well. I don't know this country or this time.]"
"[The Owl has been studying it for you. You and he will share a constant link through your minds. He will see through your eyes and hear your thoughts constantly, and he will translate them for you into English so all you need to do is repeat them aloud.]"
"[He knows English?]"
"Nein. [He will be connected constantly to me as well. What he can't translate, I will.]"
"[So he will hear me, send it to you, you translate it, send it back to him, and then he sends it back to me?]"
"[Precisely.]"
"[I will be halting in my speech.]"
"[A little bit. You may even teach them German.]"
"[To be ready for the success of our office?]"
Waldemar smiled. "Selbstvestandlich."
