Invitation to a Requiem (Japanese: 鎮魂曲（レクイエム）への招待) is the 42nd episode of the Legend of Galactic Heroes OVA.

Synopsis

Julian Mintz arrives on Fezzan. The next evening, he attends his welcome party. Julian spreads conjecture about a possible invasion of Fezzan from the Galactic Empire. Reinhard von Lohengramm organises his fleets for Operation Ragnarök. Oskar von Reuenthal, Helmut Lennenkampf and Cornelius Lutz are to lead their fleets on a diversionary attack on Iserlohn Fortress while Wolfgang Mittermeyer, Neidhart Müller, Karl Robert Steinmetz, August Samuel Wahlen and Reinhard himself will lead the bulk of the expeditionary forces through Fezzan Corridor. The fleets of Fritz Josef Bittenfeld and Adalbert von Fahrenheit will be placed on reserve, Ernst von Eisenach is to provide rear support to the diversionary forces and Ernest Mecklinger and Ulrich Kesler are to stay in Odin. Alexandre Bewcock tries to warn the Alliance National Defence Council about a possible Fezzan Corridor attack, but is ignored. On 20 November 798 UC (489 IC / 3598 CE), Reuenthal, leading a fleet of 36,000 ships, lays siege on Iserlohn Fortress. The first phase of Operation Ragnarök has thus begun.

"If the commander gets up too early, he is a nuisance to the non-commissioned officers and soldiers."
