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.

150 - Fall Blau - A Victim of It's Own Success? - WW2 - July 10, 1942

Adolf Hitler is not happy, and yet phase one of Fall Blau has accomplished all of its goals and done so ahead of the timetable. However, the Soviet Army in 1942 is not the same as that in 1941, and is not waiting around this time to be captured by the hundreds of thousands, and if things continue then the Axis might just be wasting a ton of gas to take a ton of empty space.
