Feldmarschall Keitel is scheming again at OKW. AGN commander FM von Leeb was dismissed. It was decided Keitel would take the command of AGN. I had to spend a lot of influence to appoint General Reinhard instead Keitel.

The ground is dry. Our summer campaign is about to begin.

In the first week, we are going to attack on both flanks. The enemy line is weak near Orel and Kursk. 2nd and 4th Panzer armies are going to breakthrough and drive towards Voronezh. 1st PzA and 11th Army are going to attack towards Rostov and Voroshilovgrad.

If we are successful, the enemy has to abandon the fortified line near Kharkov.

Last week we made a landing on Taman peninsula. The enemy were seen abandoning positions on Kerch strait. Our troops crossed the strait unopposed.

We have only one german division in the area. Rumanian mountain corps was sent to reinforce this sector.

We have advanced to the outskirts of Rostov. The city is heavily fortified. Pioneers are preparing for assault. Superheavy artillery battalions are ready to support. XIV Panzer Corps did cross the Don 50 miles upriver.

4th Panzer Army is advancing southeast. We are planning to pocket the enemy forces between Don and Donets.

What's happening in the North? Not much. During the last two and half months we have made some gains. Our divisions are in good shape. Our goal is to tie their forces and inflict attrition losses.

I don't know what happened. I'm not using AI air assist. I used my level bombers very little during summer and fall 1941. I was saving supply for front line ground units. I kept my fighter units in good shape. I did try to minimize operational losses. I think Soviet fighters got very little target practice.

Soviets took huge air losses in December. In 1942 air combat losses are very one sided. Every time they show up, they are shot to pieces. My pilots gain experience and their novice pilots are killed.

We have a problem in this area. Our advance is way too slow. It is easy to break the enemy line and pocket some divisions. But new enemy divisions arrive as fast as we can destroy. The computer teleports new formations from the North. We can't reach the Caspian Sea at this rate. I have to push harder in the north make them suffer there. Maybe it will ease the situation here.

The enemy line was weak neat Tula. 2nd PzA breach the line and advanced to the enemy rear destroying several airfields. Our goal is not to capture Moscow or Ryazan. The objective is to tie as much enemy forces as possible to help the situation in the Caucasus. The enemy has to withdraw the strong position neat Tula or it will be surrounded.

We are making steady progress at AGN sector. Weak enemy formations are forced to retreat. Our goal is Leningrad - Kalinlin railroad. The loss exchange ratio is about 5:1 this week.
