Soviet Collapse? (Patreon)
Content
This week German armored spearheads are lunging forward into the vast open steppes of Southern Russia. However, rather than encircling the huge numbers of Soviet forces as they had done a year ago in Operation Barbarossa, the Germans are finding themselves capturing essentially nothing other than land. The Soviets are withdrawing, the oil fields are still out of reach, so for now the supply lines are just getting longer and the number of rivers crossed is increasing. Hitler doesn't like the way this operation is being run, and so begins reorganizing his forces, as has happened on the Allied side in North Africa, where German breakthrough is also risking total collapse of the British presence there. The catchword of this week, as Indy has described, is reorganizing - in response to anything and everything.
