Situation on 7/26/42 after 115 turns.

AGN: The situation remains stable. The enemy is attacking near Volkhov. Our line holds without much trouble. We are bombarding enemy units every day.

AGC: The situation remains stable. Units are resupplying between Ryazan and Voronezh. The new objective before winter is Ryazan – Kamyshin line. Maybe we can take Saratov…

AGB: Stalingrad is captured. The supply situation is bad. We’ll have to wait until railhead moves closer.

AGA: Maykop and Novorossiysk are captured. Supply situation is very bad. Baku is too far, we can’t take it before winter. Our new objective is Makhachkala and Caspian Sea.

I have decided to reinforce the Mediterranean theatre.

I told Mussolini we don’t need more Italian divisions in the East Front. Tridentina, Julia and Cuneense Mountain divisions and Vicenza Sec division are staying in Italy.

I sent nearly 300 aircrafts to the Mediterranean:
76 Me-109 E/F
42 He-111
42 Ju-88
42 Ju-87

We have captured Tuapse. Most of the enemy units surrounded near Krasnodar are destroyed.

Our panzer divisions near Georgiyevsk are still out of supply. It’s not possible to continue until railhead moves closer. Railhead is 260 km behind. It will take 3-4 weeks until we can go on.

Here is the situation at the end of August 1942.

AGN: Situation remains stable

AGC: Most of the frontline has been stable. On the south flank we are advancing towards Saratov.

AGB: Railhead is now close to Stalingrad. We are advancing north along Volga. The enemy units between Don and Volga are going to be destroyed in the next two weeks.

AGA: Railhead is closing the frontline slowly. Supply situation is improving. We’ll have to wait a week or two until we can continue towards Caspian Sea. Our objective is Makhachkala.

Here are line charts about equipment losses so far.

Engineer losses are now sustainable. During the 1941 I lost way too much engineers.

Panzer losses have been quite steady, about 100 panzers per 5 turns. I have now 8900 panzers assigned and 1300 panzers on hand.

Fighter-bomber losses have been steady, about 130 planes per 5 turns. Production has increased, so I’m now receiving more places than I’m losing.

Level-bomber losses are on rise. I have to limit intercept missions again.

Let’s have a look about the situation near Kalinin. The frontline has been stable since October 1941. During the summer the enemy has moved units away to the other sectors. We decided it would be a good idea to shorten the frontline before next winter. The first week of our offensive has been a success. We have captured Kalinin. 16th Armee has advanced 40 km towards Torzhok. Our objective is the green dotted line.
