September 11th, 1942 (End of Axis turn)
Disaster at sea! A whole U-boat flotilla was pulverised in the North Atlantic and the equivalent of another two where sunk, but the sinking was spread over a few flotillas. Still, our valiant sailors managed to make the Allies pay too.
In the Soviet Union, only a small Soviet counterattack was reported, near Leningrad, pushing the III Corps. Soviet troops did not exploit their success, staying put. The position was retaken without fighting.
Further South, the Berezina was abandoned as well as Vitebsk. German troops advanced and some secondary fighting occurred. OKH reported surprising resistance from a rifle corps near Velikie Luki, resitting three days of assaults by the best Germany had to offer before caving in!
In Ukraine, the only operation was near Dnepropetrovsk, where an army covering the city’s Southern flank was dispatched across the river but put up enough resistance to disrupt the following attacks on the city itself. OKH is confident however that it is juts a matter of time before it falls.
In the Mediterranean, in an act of desperation in view of the Allied advance in Libya, an assault on Gibraltar was ordered and German infantry landed on the Rock and tried to dislodge the defenders, and therefore close the Mediterranean Sea from the West to have more resources to deal with the situation in Libya. Alas, the assault failed despite the Regia Marina and Regia Aeronautica valiant efforts to help.
In Norway, both side dispatched reinforcements and the British finished off the Stavenger defenders just Nort of the city. OKH believes that the British have about four corps of all kinds in the country. For now, OKH managed to send two corps (including a panzer one) and an extra division. The German fleet was also brough back home.
