Turn ends on a 1 (1-3 to end).

Here is a save from the reorganization step. I will roll partisans, US entry, and garrison markers later on.

Will Germany place their markers on defence?

Axis stay at sea.

Will we do the EoT as in the previous game? Allies do it all, with Axis instructions?

Defence for pact markers is ok.
Allies to process EOT in both games is the way to go with Axis side to provide instructions.
