On War in the East

[Aolain]

I am going after Leningrad.

Got held up, perhaps fatally, with a multi-week problem in Riga. Engaged in a furious battle with army group south attempting to pocket much of the Soviet southern flank east of Tarnopol. Vicious Soviet breakout attempt, hope I can contain it...gosh knows.

Slower in the center and north than I would have liked---cursed Riga! Next turn going to try to force the Dnieper with 2nd PzG. Hope to grab Pskov next turn. Will push Hoth and the boys east into the land bridge and they hook north to Velenki Luki (sp), and hope to grab Leningrad before mud...looks grim though. I think I am taking too many German casualties for my own good.

A real nail biter at this point.
