Germany - Battles At The Ural Mountains - 14 Jan to 21 Mar 1942

14 Jan 1942: Research has been completed on Excavation II....
....and I select Assembly Line Production next.
My current Research projects. Nothing due to finish for months.
16 Jan 1942: Eastwards, eastwards!
22 Jan 1942: We have captured the port Archangelsk, now we must mop up Soviet stragglers.
14 Feb 1942: Aktobe is at the southern end of the Urals. The 1. SS Panzerarmee is attacking here along with Romanian allies.
16 Feb 1942: The 3 Vlasov divisions have advanced and are also attacking Aktobe.
17 Feb 1942: At home 15 Sturm-Divisionen have been deployed and I use them to create Army 4 and are ordered to train.
Also 12 Kavallerie-Divisionen have been deployed and I create the 2. Kavallerie Armee. They are also ordered to train.
22 Feb 1942: The 7. SS-Division 'Prinz Eugen' has been deployed and placed in training.
Three trained Panzer-Divisionen are used to create the 4. Panzerarmee commanded by General von Weichs.
26 Feb 1942: Aktobe has fallen and next we have objectives East of the Urals.
02 Mar 1942: We are attacking towards Magnitogorsk, also Ufa west of the Urals.
I add a mix of Military and Civilian Factories to the Construction queue.
04 Mar 1942: Our divisions must get over that river. I send the 2. Sturm-Division to help.
09 Mar 1942: The 1. SS Panzerarmee is attacking towards Ufa from the south.
16 Mar 1942: The III. Panzerarmee and Armee Süd are attacking from the Northwest.
18 Mar 1942: The battle is now going in our favour.
21 Mar 1942: Ufa has fallen and more Soviet divisions have been encircled. 
The Soviets are now 98% towards capitulation and their casualties are approaching 2.5 million.
A few cities captured behind the Urals should rid Europe of Bolshevism.
