June 1941.

Rolf Deiter of the 8th Panzer Division 3/10 Panzer Bn looks into the dark as he lights another cigerette. Time was approaching. Men moved about their machines in anticipation of what was to come. Soon in a few hours a mighty artillery barrage would light up the eastern sky and he would lead his platoon of Panzer IVd's into Russia.
Several km's away Helmut Pabel of the 256th Division checked his pockets again for his young lovers letter, he wanted to read it one more time. It was an hour until battle.

Gerhard Lutz an 18 yearold tank gunner sat with his friends and crew awaitng the order.
He was a member of the 18th Panzer Division 3/18th Panzer Bn. He had never been so nervous. One of the veterens patted him on the shoulder, he looked and smiled, maybe things will turn out fine he thought. It was 30 minutes to battle.
Thomas Beyer of the 31st Inf Division slowly moved forward with his comrades as the Artillery fire flew over them from above and crashed into Brest-Litovsk. Planes roared overhead. He looked at his watch.

Heinrich Benz of the L.A.H SS motorised Division pointed out his first target. His StuG lurched back after his first round fired into the dawn.

The battle had come.

13/7/41

Elements of the 11th Panzer Division entered Kiev. The Soviet City still has not fallen but it defenders are slowly cracking under constant Air strikes.

Elements of the 19th Panzer Division of the 57th Panzer Korps have also entered Mogilev.
Soviet defenders though ill lead have halted our advance.

Daugavpils and Zhitomir have fallen but Oddesa continues to hold, though it is besieged by the 3rd and 5th Run Army under the command of Constantinesc. The Soviet 59th Army has suffered losses in the area of 2,800 men and 15 Guns.
The Carp Hun Korps scored a great success in forcing the surrender of the 40th Soviet Army. Soviet losses are believed to be 32,850 men and 140 Guns captured. The Luftwaffe also scored a great success in the battle striking with 59 fighters and 133 bombers.

The 7th inf Korps and the 24th panzer Korps also scored success outside of Mogilev shattering the Soviet 24th Army with losses of 18,010 men and 123 Guns. Bock also forced the surrender of Leliushenko's 27th Army taking 7,420 prisoners and 31 Guns.

Other Soviet Prisoners total:

18,370 men, 151 Guns and 275 AFV's.

Soviets Losses in total:

16826 Squads.
3505 AFV's.
5772 Guns.
5210 Aircraft.

It is my great displeasure to annouce the death of Heinrich Benz of the L.A.H SS motorised Division. He died on the outskirts of Kiev.
The Fuhrer believes our troops will continue their strong advance into the Soviet Union. The peoples of the Baltic states and the Ukraine have welcomed our troops with open arms.
Executed politcal prisoners were also found in the NKVD gaols in the outer districts of the Ukrainian capital Kiev.
Other more disruptive elements who live in the Ukraine and Baltic states are being dealt with by SD security toops. The local populace is assisting in all matters.

Any leadership changes made in the wehrmacht so far?

And in his latest speech the Fuhrer confident described the war in Russia as beein won already. Do you agree herr Feldmarschal? And Whats your impression of the vast country and the condition of the red army?

We in the swedish goverment continue to remain strictly neutral. Although we would like to remind the german military leadership of Swedens cooperative attitude towards Deutschland. The transfer of divison Engelbreckt from Norway through our country to the finish front should prove that. In other words....we don´t like to be the next victim!

As it stands at the moment no leadership changes have been made. But if the need arises I will take action, but as of the moment all commanders are performing as instructed.

The Fuhrer believes the War with Russia will be over before the conclusion of summer. I amoung others believe that precautions for the coming winter should be made before the end of the summer weather.

I have not as yet came to any conclusion about the Soviets Leadership. The Red armies soldiers have not as yet made an impression on myself, they lack experience and modern equipment.
The Vastness of the country I believe will eventually take a toll on our Panzers. The lack of decent roads and communications have made things difficult but the liberated local populace is assisting in all matters.

We thank the swedish goverment for its co-operation in all matters concerning Germany and Europes war on Bolshevism. We offer our protection to Sweden if you feel a need for assistance. If you wish we can dispatch a few divisions to assist your nation in any internal conflicts that may involve Jewish-Bolshevik involvement. These troops if you wish could be on the move in hours. It is in Sweden's and Germany's best intersts if all of Sweden's resources are safe from jewish-Bolshevik conspirators.

Please confirm if you wish our assistance.

Yours Mighty Muzrub.

27/7/41.

Vitebsk Falls!.
The 73rd Soviet Army was shattered by the 39th Panzer Korps with loses of 22,460 men and 168 Guns. While the 47th has driven to the gates of Smolensk and appears to be on the verge of taking the city!. Zhukov lead a bad defense and the Bolsheviks suffered 4310 men in causalties and lost over 28 guns.

Oddesa is still providing much needed battle experience to the Rumainains. Another 3820 men were lost by the Soviets and 21 guns. The city is soon to fall.

Kiev is providing much time for our troops to adjust to the supply situation by holding the city for another few days. Our units are expected to continue their drive into the city in the next week.

Army Group North had more success in taking the entire 87th Bolshevik Army captive. Losses are considered to be in the region of 14,790 prisoners, 96 guns and 37 tanks. Stalin has no answer to Leebs fast moving Panzer units.

Panzer Units and Infantry continue their drive East in Army Group Centre. The Bolsheviks are throwing all they have at our troops. This endless supply of man power is sure to exhaust itself before the drive on Moscow. Though Moscow has not been as yet said to be the main focus of our Panzer drives.

As to be expected there are supply problems, but these are soon to be solved by the changing of the Soviet rail gauge to the ours. The Russian people have kindly placed themslves at our disposal to assist us in this effort.

The Fuhrer has annouced a relaxing of restrictions placed upon the German people during the terrible years of war we have endured due to the Warlord Chruchill's ambitions of ruling Europe from the British Isles. Our Fuhrer has announced to the world that the German people are striving to restrict Churchill's and Stalin's ambitions to destroy German culture and the culture of other European nations through Jewish-Bolshevism. He asks that all Germans still continue to give their all for the war effort even though restrictions have been relaxed. Though it is a forgone conclusion that we will arise from this terrible and unjust war as the victors and liberators of all European peoples.

Bolshevik Losses:

19,802 Squads
3943 AFV's
7130 Guns
6356 Aircraft

The Fuhrer insits that all of the above is a Jewish-Bolshevik conspiricy.
German Liberators have suffered very few losses. The Bolshevik-Asiatic hordes are on their last legs, our soldiers will in short period of time will be in Moscow toasting our fallen comrades at Arch Villian Stalin's trial. He is charged by the German people for intiating this war in the East, for enslaving and murdering the peace loving peoples of the Ukraine and Baltic states. Stalin is an unjust monster and co-conspirator with Churchill to create this war to destroy the peoples of Greater Germany and our Allies.

All of Europe must stand against these Bolshevik barbarians, our culture and freedom will be decieded in this titanic struggle against evil.
Your Fuhrer's struggle is your struggle.

God is with us!.

8/10/41

Bolshevik Armies in the central sector of the front have suffered more serious losses.
Soviet Losses: 12,890 men surrendered 186 guns captured and 192 tanks. Another 8,860 men, 53 guns were destroyed.

The Bolshevik 30th Army was forced to retreat from the now German city of Pskov with losses 12,670 men, 68 guns and 76 tanks.
It is believed Leliushenko may lose his command of Soviet Northern Sector.

Brave Panzer forces lead by the 14th, Viking and L.A.H panzer divisions have delievered a crushing loss of men and material in the area of over 15,000 men, 104 guns. No confirmation on tanks losses as yet.

Our Heroic Finnish allies forced a retreat on the Soviets in the Leningrad area inflicting losses of over 1760 men and 3 guns. These figures could be higher.

Army Group South continues to move east.

The Fuhrer has denied that a loss of a Panzer Korps has taken place on the Easern front. Panzer units on the central sector of the front have been reorganized and commanders have been replaced. This is not due to any problems concerning the front but due to ill health and exhaustion of some of our leaders.
Bolshevik lies are to be ignored. Our losses are few when compared to our treacherous enemies in the East.

The Fuhrer himself is pleased the progress of this war of liberation.

God is with us.

Soviet Losses:

22,041 Squads
4391 AFV's
8120 Guns
7398 Aircraft
