Looks like AAR of the novice WITE player.
T1 - Riga not taken, no Lvov pocket ... So better to ask the opponent to restart.

If only WITE had come out before the actual operation, after years of reloads OKW might have figured out how to do it right.

Also, whomever drew up those maps has exceptionally neat handwriting.

The only unfortunate thing is that such a nice atlas does not exist for later years and other fronts. It has something of a great movie with a cliffhanger, but no sequel.

Items are declassified all the time, we can but hope!.

I could do 1945 Berlin Front, just as soon as i can find a map symbol for the Fuhrer, when static, face down in the mud, with a bullet in his head and his arse on fire.
