July 5, 1943-Axis AAR
Nothing really happened on the front at all for me in this, my first week on the job, trying to stave off the onslaught of the mighty BEAR.
Oh, I lost 50000 men(all dead), according to my opponent.
More frauleins for the ones of us left, that dug deep into the bunkers, like we're supposed to!
Oh yeah, and I shattered the Army in the northen suburbs of Leningrad, and took possession of that hex.
(12000/13000 men + all their equipment, something like that, I lost count).
Otherwise just kinda hangin' out on the Crimean coast, enjoying the summer, and waiting for Dave to send me his first turn.
Stay tuned....

Joseph Stalin's top secret personal diary - 07/03/43
"My old master appeared again last night. If he only wouldn't do that... Didn't he realize that I am the master now?
But what am I to do? There's no way to shoot a ghost. If I could only get rid of him like I did with Trotzki.
Master Vladimir Ilyich just can't stop to remind me of Warsaw. As if it was my fault that they were unable to protect my flanks.
He still makes me furious. The Fascists will have to pay for that, I promise!
The Fascists... Something is happening on the other side. Something is happening. I'm sensing it. Though I don't now yet what it is.
Too bad that they shot our best spy a few days ago. Even our intelligence is almost worthless now. I have to do everything myself!
Well, their offensive will start soon. I'm prepared..."

Chapter I
Joseph Stalin's top secret personal diary - 07/26/43
The Fascists cancelled their summer offensive. I knew there was something going on! But what? Was there a change in their High Command? Got Hitler eventually sensible and made Manstein OB Ost? No, not Hitler... Besides, their defense is too static for Manstein. No, Adolf, the old bastard, is still in charge.
Maybe he just had one of his panic attacks, because of the Allied troops. The Imperialists comquered Sicily and, not to forget, are already fighting in Normandy!
Is that the second front I always demanded? If so, why the hell didn't they tell me?
Anyway, I'll be in Berlin first. My armies are attacking at all sectors. And I'm sure we'll be able to cross the Dnjepr this year.
And when I'll have defeated the Fascists, the Imperialist armies will be waiting for their own destruction. They only do me a favor shipping their troops to France, so I won't have to cross the Atlantic...
Poor fools. Everthing is going as planned.

Don't you know?, it's Dnieper...or Nieper....or, whatever....
Anyhow, the AAR has changed dramatically, in the past turn.
Every time the hordes attack, and throw me back, they are summarily "dealt with", in a most unpleasant manner!
Now I know why they call them Shock Armies! hehe

Axis AAR 8/02/43
My troops have reported that "The Faceless Russian Masses", from the Baltic to the Black Sea, are now attacking in force, across THE ENTIRE FRONT!
This, even though under my direct command, I have thrown back in disarray (or was it datarray?{ Japanese style Orientation PACWAR joke}). in just the past two weeks, Two SHOCK ARMIES, in the woods to the NW of Velikiye Luki, in which his losses were at least 50,000 men, and two GUARDS ARMIES, 100 km east of Kiev, not to mention most of their equipment!
He has just lost 32,000 men in ONE IMPULSE!, against my SS KORP!, to the NE of Karkhov, and only knocked it down a couple of entrenchment points!....yet....
HE IS NOW ATTACKING EVERYWHERE!?? #%$&%# him!!!
My front line scouts have taken droves of Russian deserters!!
We don't take prisoners at this stage in the conflict with the animal BEAR!, but these troops begged to be taken behind our lines, rather than fight for that BEAST, who sends his men to their deaths, by the ten of thousands, while enjoying his worldly pleasures behind the Kremlin walls!
Yes, they attack!, and attack, and attack, and attack!!!.... I'm sorry, I get a little carried away sometimes...
but if they don't....there are hordes of NKVD troops just behind their lines, with 50 cal. machine guns on the back of flat bed trucks, waiting to send these poor wretches to their ultimate demise!
So why shouldn't they come over? They have read the notes that we have dropped behind their lines by air...telling of hot food and
warm blankets in our Valiant OST Battalions, where they would be stationed at the now stabilized Western Front, or the soon to be tranquil Italian Front!!
These deserters tell of how THE BEAST promises that the Dnieper will be crossed so soon. ??? He hasn't even reached the Desna yet!!!
"Press Everywhere!!!, if you are a good Tailor, otherwise....."
(By the way, I went to the tailor this week, and had that annoying pocket removed from the uniform I had made in Orel, it was giving me a rash...)
I have instructed my forces, who tell me of mowing down the FACELESS Russian masses that throw themselves at our lines....
THAT WE ARE AIMING TOO HIGH!!!!!

PRAWDA communiqué - 08/02/43
"Yesterday Orel was liberated. What a glorious day! The other old Russian cities are to follow soon. BTW we captured some tailors...
North-east of Charkow our Guards Armies reminded a few SS criminals that they're at the EASTERN FRONT!
Weeks ago our troops cleared a path to Leningrad. The survivers of the besieged city joined the fight with the glorious saviours without hesitation. We will not stop before mother Russia will be free again!
The Fascists reveal their own desperation through their lies. The desertion rate of our armies is zero.
Our soldiers can see that the Wehrmacht is beaten. Unable to launch any serious offensive the Fascists are continuouisly driven back. The Red Armist would rather die than being imprisoned. We all know that the Nazis kill all imprisoned Russian soldiers immediately. They rape our wifes and kill our children. Our hunger for revenge will carry our offensive straight into the heart of the evil Fascist Reich.
Next station: Berlin!"

"Set up some more tents and cots for our new Ost Battalion Recruits, they're coming in by the thousands!, don't waste your ammunition!"
"Attack Everywhere!, Get thrown back!...EVERYWHERE!"
Need I say more?
You know I will....so why do you ask?
The 67th Army, in the swamp, 40 miles SE of Leningrad, made up mostly of the recently "liberated" Leningrad defenders, CRUSHED!
It took four impulses, only because my boss stepped in to grab some of the glory. And of course the Commander of OBN had to jump in, TWICE! Otherwise I would have had that situation wrapped up a lot sooner! (Everbody wants to get in on the Glory!...SHEESH!)
The 1st SHOCK ARMY! (Now I see why those counters are in RED!), just West of Velikiye Luki, CRUSHED!, back into town!
The 5th Army, 40 miles Nothwest of Smolensk, CRUSHED!
The 60th Army, 60 or so miles Northwest of Kurk, CRUSHED!
I should have shattered every one of these sorry Armies!
They were lucky to escape with only the loss of over 1400 Squads and almost 1200 guns!
Now I ask all of you honestly, who's side is God on?
The Atheist Bear Dog?, who has his own men slaughtered, as they wisely retreat from the HELL that we expose them to?

Joseph Stalin's top secret personal diary - 10/04/43
"The western Imperialists betrayed me once again. They are now fighting in Italy, but the French front didn't make any progress. I don't believe those bastards when they say they do all they can do. They want to see the proud people of Russia bleed. We'll be in Berlin first anyway.
We attacked permanently during the whole summer. Novorossisk, Orel and Bryansk are in our hands now. Smolensk and Vitebsk are to fall soon. The Fascists are defending desperately. They ordered a few SS elite units to defend the city. They will be forced to retreat, or die. But they just don't want to realize that their time at Russian soil is very limited.
During the summer the only real weapon left to the Germans was their Luftwaffe. They struck our attack armies hard and forced them to halt here and there. But now that the sky is darkened they won't be able to help the Heer that much any more. As soon as the mud will disappear we will attack again.
This time we won't stop before the German Reich. Even the mud won't help the Fascists again. They lost 867.000 soldiers in only 3 months. Soon the dyke will breach. And victory will be ours."

Outdoor Concert Tonight!
The weather has taken a refreshing change from the downpours that both sides were faced with for weeks now.
It is much cooler than recently, and there is a nice breeze that wafts over our lines. Of course, all of that nasty water has dried up completely. Some of our troops have been doing a little ice skating and sledding in the past few days. (We are Internationally renowned winter sportsmen, so we must prepare as well for the next Olympics!)
Very much to our surprise, Herr Stalin has invited us to an outdoor Concert this evening. (We may have a feeling that he is having a change of heart about all of this silly killing.)
Unusually, the only piece of music on the program is "Eine kleine Nachtmusik", Mozart, KV 525.
We are sure that it will be a monumental performance, by only the most brilliant of musicians.
In the morning though, we are confident that...he will be served a piece of Strudel.
