Levitt (Southern Victory)

Major Levitt was a U.S. Army officer assigned to the General Staff. In 1942 he travelled to Clovis, New Mexico with sealed orders for Major General Abner Dowling ordering the Eleventh Army to go on the offensive and invade Texas. Dowling was puzzled since his original orders were to simply prevent the Confederate Army from invading U.S. territory. Levitt explained it was to prevent the Confederates from reinforcing their army in Pittsburgh when General Irving Morrell launched his counter-attack.
