10 Apr 1941: I change the Conscription Law to
Extensive Conscription which will double the amount of recruits being called up.
The next Dockyards will go to Light Cruiser production.
11 Apr 1941: Three Soviet divisions are encircled (and doomed) in Proskuriv. We are now advancing towards Kiev and Odessa in Ukraine.

12 Apr 1941: Proskuriv has fallen and the divisions used can now thrust southeastwards from Vinnytsia.
I plan an airborne assault to capture Kiev.
13 Apr 1941: Kiev is defended by a single Rifle Division but ground forces will soon link up with the Fallschirmkorps.

Soviet forces which advanced into SE Stanislawow have been neutralized and 69. Infanterie-Division can now continue to advance eastwards.
Look at Soviet losses compared to ours and the war is progressing 10% in our favour.
Excellent news.
Battles at the border between 2. Armee and 3. Armee.
We shall soon breakthrough SE of Vinnytsia and I support the attack on Kiev with 169. Infanterie-Division.
