Germany - The Advance on Moscow and Stalingrad (II) - 14 Aug to 10 Sep 1940

14 Aug 1940: We are attacking on a broad front into the Caucasus.
The same goes for our main thrust to Stalingrad and Moscow.
I plan the construction of more Military Factories.
Later in the day here are the operational plans for the 8 Armies involved from the north....
....to the south.
15 Aug 1940: Mopping up bypassed troops south of Smolensk.
18 Aug 1940: The same area 3 days later.
21 Aug 1940: Further south a couple of pockets have been formed but there are few enemy divisions between us and Moscow.
Great progress in the Caucasus especially in the Kuban region.
24 Aug 1940: We are also advancing on the northern front.
27 Aug 1940: We are about to kick down the Kremlin's front gate. There a six cities nearby which also need to be captured.
29 Aug 1940: The enemy's frontline in the Caucasus is falling apart.
30 Aug 1940: We are closing in on Stalingrad too.
01 Sep 1940: Not good for the Soviets. We shall be home for Christmas at this pace.
04 Sep 1940: Strike One! Moscow has fallen.
Most of the nearby cities have been captured as well.
06 Sep 1940: Stalingrad's capture is imminent. We can now take a look at the Intel on Italy.
08 Sep 1940: Strike Two! Stalingrad has been captured.
09 Sep 1940: The remnants of a large pocket is about to be neutralized. The troops can now reinforce our Caucasus campaign.
Nothing but Military Factories being constructed.
10 Sep 1940: Rzhev is the last satellite city that needs to be captured. Half the divisions here will later be available for the drive on Leningrad.
14 Sep 1940: I increase my Conscription to Service by Requirement effectively doubling my manpower pool - but at a cost.
The ends this post. Strike Three will be the fall of Leningrad.
