Learning from last week's crushing defeat we killed those who we encircled. 2 shock armies surrendered only, but there are no enemy behind our lines if blizzard strikes again. Red air force tried to dispute air suppriority, but it was beaten back this time.

Our panzers moved to start positions for the next cleaning action if the weather allows it. We have to destroy as much soviets as we can as long they are tired. Our probing bombing attacks show the red army gaining strength quickly.

Operation "revenge" started with the encirclement of a few red armies In the Northern front. On the outside of the encirclement a secondary offense was started against nearby armies to make outside help harder. One soviet army surrendered in this operation. In the south 2 diversion attacks suceeded as well. We nervously await the soviet answer to this.

The encircled 5 soviet armies (3 shock) surrendered in the Pskov area. Huge soviet fighter forces tried to save them, but their airfields were bombed and the sky was cleared from the red fighters. Secondary attacks trying to capture another shock army in the north, and make a deep thrust behind enemy lines in the south failed. Not enough Luftwaffe forces left after the big air battle to make proper recon and supporting missions for the secondary attacks.

Our panzers rested and repositioned for the new offense. Only one panzer korps attacked. It shouldn't have done it. It's offense was halted at the worst possible place. The soviets are flanked but in supply. They can choose to try to eliminate the panzer korps or pull back safely. All nearby panzers were given orders to head for the comaraden in trouble, but we have a bad feeling that they will only arrive to get a bloody revenge on the happy soviet troops celebrating the capturing of one of the feared panzer korpses.

The soviets pulled back, the panzer korps lives:) Not much this week as the soviet defense lines are extremely strong now in the area of the german panzer concentration. Most small attacks failed this week. Kharkow failed in our hands as there was only a small garrison there.

In the south our panzers destroyed 2 soviet armies. One was looking like tank army, but it was all infantry. Are the soviets getting weak, or they are trying to bluff us?
In the centre the rebuilt panzer korps which was destroyed at the end of the winter just failed to destroy a soviet army. The need more experience and self belief to make a succesfull revenge. A soviet airfield was softly pounded by the Luftwaffe.

The soviets were cut of but last reports tell the movement was badly coordinated, and there are big holes in the encirclement and the 2 lead panzer korpses are in grave danger. Luckily 2 panzer korpses are in reserve to save the attacking troops from their leaders incompetence, but first they have to survive the furious soviet counterattack.

Our troop movement last week were not as bad as we first thought. Some soviet troops punched their way out, but the bigger part were forced to surrender (2 shock and 2 tank armies). The red air force tried to support the encircled but were easily defeated by the full strength veteran fw units. We had even strength to cut off some more soviet troops. Our panzers are really tired, but they smell blood now and wont stop until the enemy forces them to do so. This is the chance to break the neck of the red army, Tula is captured and we have 2 months and 8 panzer korpses to strike behind the mighty centre of the enemy.

This week Stalin was killed in a military coup lead by Zhukov. The new soviet goverment agreed to give up all territory in Europe, and disband the red army. The war is over!
