Germany - Dealing with the Home Front

19 Nov 1940: When at war I tend to ignore the Home Front so there are many areas where I need to catch up. My spy ring in France is developing well.

The resistance there doesn't want to go away.

I create Army Ludendorff and order it to garrison duty in Ludendorff and Kiev.

20 Nov 1940: I start recruiting an agent in France.

Time for Mussolini to provided some troops.

Better than nothing I suppose.

I'm recruiting more Sicherungs-Divisionen after this batch so I increase the number Sturm-Divisionen to 5.

I still have critical shortages but I'm not at war and production is increasing.

I assign 2 fully-trained destroyers to the Hochseeflotte.

I can now start training in the Black Sea again.

There are also many Destroyers and U-Booten that can be upgraded.

There are five destroyers here which are eligible....

...and they show up on the Production table.

My Luftwaffe needs attention too. I try to have fighters and bombers at the same base when used to directly support an army. Fighters alone are used for air-superiority missions.

21 Nov 1940: I' m also increasing the size of the air wings, mostly from 50 aircraft to 100.

22 Nov 1940: Many air wings have been transferred to western Europe from Russia.

23 Nov 1940: I notice a lot of UK divisions moving towards Russia.

24 Nov 1940: Wow! I count 55 divisions in or approaching Russia. That's more than I have at the eastern front.

I decide to cancel the Tirpitz. I'll build a bigger one later.

I'll have two more dockyards supporting the Bismarck when more are available.

I start the construction of 4 more dockyards in East Prussia.

25 Nov 1940: That should be enough for Ukraine.

29 Nov 1940: The warning sign for high resistance has disappeared.

While looking around North Africa I stumbled upon this. Japan is justifying a war against the UK. They want Hong Kong. It only takes 10 days to justify? They must have claimed it as a core region first.
