Germany - Unternehmen Dynamo (II) - 23 Jun to 04 Jul 1940

23 Jun 1940: The Land Doctrine Mobile Infantry has been researched....

….and I continue along this path with Mass Mobilization.

An overview of my current research projects.

There are now only 7 (down from 8) regions with high resistance values. The extra troops are helping.

I deploy Panzer- and Sturm-Divisionen early....

….and assign them to Besatzungsarmee Süd. 

I also add 3 fully-trained divisions from the Armeeschule. That should fix the problem.

24 Jun 1940: A couple of our destroyers were sunk in the Black Sea.

25 Jun 1940: Some things one must do oneself!

26 Jun 1940: Now that we have cleared the path we can start occupying the Caucasus.

28 Jun 1940: Great news!

I activate the decryption...

….and look forward to the Soviet report in a few days.

I assign General Ferdinand Schörner to the Military High Command.

30 Jun 1940: The operational plans for Armee Krim and Armee Kaukasus. Stalingrad is so near!

01 Jul 1940: The situation in the centre of the front.

02 Jul 1940: Back to the South again and mopping up now in progress.

I allow South African troops access....

….and accept the ten divisions from Greece.

I add them to Besatzungsarmee Süd. The high resistance levels are primarily due to the Reich being at war. Another reason the finish the mission in Russia ASAP.

04 Jul 1940: I move Transportgeschwader 1 to Kharkov. The two Fallschirmjäger-Divisionen are on their way there too.

It's too early to expect a change. Further progress in the Caucasus.

The Soviets have alarming casualties and are 59% towards capitulation. The imminent capture of Moscow and Stalingrad should greatly increase that number.

Over a million Soviet casualties compared to 83K German. Also look at the percentage support I am receiving from allies!
