The Axis may have its back up against the wall, but it's not out yet. More than 2000 SPs sink in the Atlantic. Russian units all along the Eastern Front are pummelled by sustained air and artillery attack, many finished off or set to flight by following ground units. Yugoslav resistance is terminated. 1st Fallschirmjaeger Division holds its ground north of Athens against all the West can throw at it. Finally Kleist's Panzer troops, freed last month from fighting in Yugoslavia, cross the Corinth Straight and wheel round to join Italian units struggling to make contact with 1st FJ. Following a Wagnerian air assault by the Regia Aeronautica on defenders of the lifeline to Allied units in mainland Greece, tanks, infantry and paras close in and exterminate the, admitedly, determined defenders. Five depleted allied units are now cut off on the coast. Only the RN can help them now, and the Regia Aeronautica has plans for them :D Only in Norway do the Allies score something a weak mind might construe as success, as the RN blockades Oslo and reinforces Bergen with many troops and bombers. Fortress Norway will fight to the last breath!
