Great patriotic war (real one)
1944. oktober 14.
Snow
A humanic order were given out for every solider of the red army. Everyone can keep the last bullet for suicide. If we can't win at least make the germans suffer! No surrender! Rain came at the end of the week.
No german beast died this week (unluckily)!
No soviet hero has perished this week (luckily!)

The heavy mud of Russia limited our forces movement this week, but attacks continued, with Moscow nearly in sight of our troops. No progress was made though, as the men pray for snow to help them resume the attack to rid Europe of the danges of Stalin. Deep airfield attacks were launched at the Soviet rear airfields well to the east of Moscow, finding the fields undefended by fighters. However, only a few bombers were able to find the targets in the rain so Soviet plane losses were not terribly high.

Quite a strange a situation the enemy is in. The few german soliders captured all are absolutely sure of german victory. But they tell no german solider really want to participate in the attack against Moscow. Everybody want's to live to see the war end, but this wish will not be fullfilled for all of them:) The german infatrymen are quite fed up with the panzers, they call them "reserve specialists". Hopefully they will think twice before attacking digged in tank armies. Snow came at the end of the week.
No losses this week.

The cautious advance on Moscow, led by infantry divisions, failed to gain any defended ground this weak. One infantry korps advanced into no mans land, reaching within 40 miles of Moscow, but otherwise no attacks succeeded in the Moscow area. More success was reached to the south against shells of divisions filled with very old and very young Russians, or entire divisions filled with the sick or convalescent soldiers. Victory appears near, if the enemy is running out of fit soldiers for combat.
Also, the westernmost airfields far to the east of Moscow were hit by air raids, although losses were heavy on both sides.

The soviet state prepares the most likely last millitary parade on the red square for the 7th of november. The execution of the war criminal Dietrich will finish the parade. From the red square all troops gonna go to the front just west of Moscow. We are a bit afraid that a strong panzer rush will free Dietrich from justice, but executing him before the parade would lower the morale as a sign of weaknes.
No losses this week.

The execution of Dietrich, a relatively low ranking leader of the minor arm of the army-the SS, shows the brutality Stalin has shown his own people and all of our captured soldiers during this war of Soviet aggression. It appears that the Soviet leadership plans on dying in the battered ruin of Moscow during the final battles of the war, or they would not dare to openly execute captured soldiers.
In a surprise move, the Soviet army abandoned its remaining defensive works at the front lines and fell back to its last positions outside of Moscow itself, holding the line with tank armies in most cases. Only minor combat occurred northwest of Moscow, but heavier fighting happened along the southern sector of the front. Infantry forces punched holes through the enemy lines to cut the rail lines north and south of Orel. And the slow advance on Kharkov has nearly reached the city.

The execution of Dietrich is done! The troops from the military parade went to the front with the clear feeling that the germans won't have any mercy.
The enemy did come to the gates of Moscow with infantry. Our troops forced 2 strong enemy infantry korps to surrender. We await further german footmen:) Sadly tank army commanders reported all enemy dead... They said they fought until the last officer. The last officer surrendered only to commit suicide seconds later. Even the the Stavka has doubts about this story...

Thousands of our brave soldiers earned their Knight's Crosses last week, fighting against the desperate enemy forces. However, their loss, while painful to their loving families, is a mere footnote on the destruction of the Stalinist menace. However, blizzards limited our operations this turn, with most action concentrated on airfields near Moscow. But the blizzards helped many enemy planes survive our attacks.

These poor weak Soviet forces, armed with slings, were so recently able to destroy some of our strongest infantry korps! These Soviets are amazing with their primitive weapons. But Kalinin fell to assault this week, and direct attacks on the tank armies entrenched just outside of Moscow were launched with no success except to weaken the enemy forces. Panzer forces are massed behind the front line, trying to force their way to the front lines, but the stubborn Soviet defense prevents it.

Our brave foot soldiers are battering at the gates of Moscow, along with strong air support against the tank armies defending the ground. They are gaining massive experience in destroying tanks with satchel charges, mines and panzerfausts, but it is not enough. It appears that the rebuilding panzertruppen will have to return to battle to ensure the destruction of Stalin and his cronies.

In a fury over the slaughter of another panzer korps, the German army struck back at every available target, inflicting heavy damage on 2 tank armies and a variety of infantry forces. Also, after many days of combat, Kharkov fell to our vicious forces, thirsting for revenge. And the outskirts of Moscow were reached, with the Kremlin now in sight and the western terminus of the Moscow subway captured. Hundreds of the non-existent ISII tanks were captured or destroyed. But enemy tanks remain in mass all around Moscow.

The Soviet Union, before it enters its death throes, will be able to celebrate one final western New Year in Moscow. The operational plan calls for the fall of Moscow in mid-January, no matter how many of our soldiers make the ultimate sacrifice by then. The Soviet tank armies continued to take a beating from air and ground attacks. In addition, an infantry army northwest of Moscow was forced to retreat but disintegrated during its retreat through 100 miles of defensive lines.

Our only luck is that the german panzers doesn't dare to cut off Moscow, and finish this off quickly. Those panzers still remember the summer battles:) But unluckily our tank armies have made the ultimate sacrifice for the defense of Moscow. The germans could easily roll into Moscow now...

Soviet morale appears to be dropping to new lows as our triumphant but battered forces near Moscow on more fronts. 1 tank and 1 infantry army shattered while trying to escape our heavy attacks. But large forces remain on the approaches to Moscow, and the fighting has not ended.

Stalin had offered an amnesty to the german's (all of them are warcriminals of course) leaving the sovietunion NOW. After soviet final victory there will be no mercy!
Oh yes, the Stavka thinks Stalin is a bit tired (it means totaly mad)....
2 german infantry korps began to move at direction of germany in the hope of the amnesty. Sadly others stayed.
