Germany - The Home Front and Disengaging in Shanxi - 01 Dec to 27 Dec 1942

01 Dec 1942: I have enough Army XP to select a new Land Doctrine and I settle for Fire Brigades.
I first cancel all orders for 7th Army but I notice that the new enemy capital is up for grabs.
04 Dec 1942: I order 8 divisions to take the capital which is only defended by 1 Japanese division.
06 Dec 1942: In Germany 10 new Sturm-Divisionen have been deployed and I place them in training.
08 Dec 1942: I thought they had been defeated but Portugal still controls the Azores.
I wouldn't have accepted them in the Axis.
09 Dec 1942: The capital Suiyan has moved again! The divisions in 7th Army are very depleted.
11 Dec 1942: The Chinese have only advanced 1 division into the captured State but I'm disengaging 7th Army.
12 Dec 1942: We still have Supply problems in Belarus so I decide to maximize the Infrastructure in the Region.
13 Dec 1942: Most of my divisions are being pinned down by enemy counterattacks but we still have the upper hand.
15 Dec 1942: We are finally moving south.
17 Dec 1942: I check Marineschule Kiel and I assign 6 Destroyers to Atlantik TF 1....
....as well as 7 U-Booten to I. U-Boots Flottille.
My current Navy production.
All 7 divisions of 7th Army which are north of the river are moving but are fighting rear-guard battles.
21 Dec 1942: We have disengaged and are crossing the river.
27 Dec 1942: I don't have any Heavy Fighters - the Me 410 is still on the drawing board.
I order 7th Army south.
Look at 8. Panzer-Division. It is only at 66% strength and its Organization is 11 out of a possible 44. Luckily 1230 Manpower will arrive withn the next 3 days.
Finally there are 17 Units in training.
There are a lot of Italian divisions on the Reich's southern border. That is a little disturbing.
