Stupid crappy Soviet air force. How can my command take all credit for victory contribute to the inevitable triumph of the German war machine without enemies to fight?
Yes, well you did come a bit late to the air war. Speaking of which, let's finish this thing!
July 28th, 1941By Polotsk, army group North shakes the water out of their boots before marching southeast to rejoin the offensive, via Vitebsk. The 3rd Wehrmacht makes a noble effort to take out the Russian armor in Vitebsk, fortunately avoiding heavy casualties by their tactical prowess, although they've also inflicted minimal losses on the tanks over the course of two days. Maybe they're just chicken. Looks like we'll need the grenadiers.
Our armored fist thunders towards Smolensk. Really? That's all they have for defense? I had expected some fortress at least...
Send word to high command that they're invited for cocktails in the finest hotel in Smolensk on Thursday.
July 30th, 1941Well, they're putting up a good fight, considering their hopeless predicament. Yes, yes, what patriotic fighters they are. Are you ready to surrender yet?
In Vitebsk, the paratroops of the 23rd hoofed it across the bridge and caught those tanks between the FJ and Taricus' 10th Grenadiers! Taricus and his men seized the opportunity to assault the panicked tankers, and all of the communist scum were crushed. Our casualties were scarce.
They fought to the death. Pictured: 11th Wehrmacht climbing over the corpses to raise the flag on the courthouse flagpole.
Glorious marginal victory!Hurrah!
Adequate work? Man, these stuck-up party generals are hard to please.
Well, thanks to my loyal B12 commanders for sharing in our triumph. I'm leaving on a long trip and must bring this LP to an end. It's been bloody. Bloody
fun.
