Dear TimeGhost Army,

Our apologies for the delay of this week's episode, now it's finally here for you to watch!

This week, the Axis forces breakthrough in the Soviet Union and North Africa, creating a critical situation for the Allies. The Allied forces in Africa are forced to escape to El Alamein, with a triumphant Mussolini already arriving in Africa to personally march into Egyptian cities when the battle is won. Even the British believe this could be the end, preparing defensive lines alone the Nile Delta for the likely event that Axis forces begin pouring into Egypt.

The situation is no better in the USSR. Axis tank spearheads have broken through in the south and now threaten to cut the Voronezh rail hub which connects the Soviet central and southern fronts, encircling thousands of Soviet troops in the process. By crossing the river Don, the Germans are now preparing to fight the Soviets in the vast open steppes of Southern Russia, where they are extremely confident their tanks can brush past the featureless landscape.

A little over a year after Barbarossa, Germany and its allies appear to be driving deep into the hearts of the Allied militaries. Japan has conquered all of South East Asia and many of the crown jewels of the European Empires, not least of which is the critical naval base of Singapore.

Is this the beginning of the end, or even the end of the end? Is the war about to be lost? Will a new world order arise on the corpse of the old?
