Some who hade orders to find ships near Eastern Biscay Plain, also flew to East.

Until peace is signed, and stay as our prisoners.
Well, at least they escape the infernal heat of Africa.
When the pyramids will be ours, will visit Egypt.
The English are still bombing Euskirchen, in
Germany.

However as the Graf Spee fleet continues to assist the fighting in North Africa, and cannot pick up the troops stationed in Romania and send them deep inside Soviet Union lines and after, to destroy any Soviet fleet.
Because of this, we will postpone the invasion.
When informing the Führer, the need to postpone in 5 days, we use as an excuse the invasion of Yugoslavia.
He joked that it will take us more days to delay than to defeat a country (it took three days to defeat Yugoslavia).
Fortunately, I'm in good graces and he is in a good mood.

These Infantry have to
secure and try to connect
in the south.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared a region of the Atlantic, adjacent to the Americas as the Pan-American Security Zone. Within this zone, United States naval ships escorted convoys bound for Europe. This zone is an action taken by the United States that ran counter to its formal state of neutrality.
The Declaration of Panama signed by the nations of North and South America. Within the Zone which extended between 300 and 1,000 nautical miles (560 and 1,900 km; 350 and 1,200 mi) offshore, the signatories would not tolerate belligerent acts.

Another is order to cut through the middle.
We are losing 76 Rare Material every day.
In the Romania Port, we board the second wave (Three Infantry-Division and one HQ) to the Soviet port of Mykolaiv and after unloaded, link with the port in the south.

several hits the Cruiser was sunk.
Kirov Cruiser
The attentions then turned to Battleship Oktyabrskaya Revoluciya that was already serious damage by three bomb hits on her bow that knocked out two turrets.
After one more hour, one final hit from Tipitz, took the job, and it sunk the Pride of the Soviet Navy.
Blücher Cruiser was hit several times in the process.
The final result was the sinking of the Kirov Cruiser, the Oktyabrskaya Revoluciya Battleship, and two Destroyers and one Submarine.
Hip hip hurray to our Kriegsmarine.
The Soviet Romanian flank is totally wide open. Taking advantage of this, and with the Führer approval, Ribbentrop flew to Bucharest on the 15th with a formal request to join our crusade.
Because ours successive postponements, we just request their entrance today.
They accepted and committed to join tomorrow at 3:00 this crusade.

Hitler told me today:
“At the beginning of each campaign, one pushes a door into a dark, unseen room. One can never know what is hiding inside.”
The two Heavy Cruisers, Blücher and Graf Spee with three Landing Craft, are detach from the main fleet, and order to set sail to Dubrovnik, former Yugoslavia for repairs.
In the Southern Baltic, the Graf Zeppelin fleet find the HDMS Niels Juel and sunk him.
We already sunk one in April. Or our Intel is wrong, or…
I can’t understand why the sails rescue would lie.
Abu Haggag, in Egypt,
the last province
between we and the
Italian, are difficult to
fall.
We lost the battle to
conquer them.

Two battles lost in the center.
The Bombers of the Luftwaffe, should raze that provinces.

One Soviet convoy and escort sunk.
One Canadian and five English convoy sunk.
The campaign in Egypt is almost done
Africa
Eastern Africa
The Graf Spee fleet (now without the Graf Spee, and with Tirpitz as the flagship), found three Soviet destroyers and one transporter.
The Tirpitz, made most of the work, and in just one hour, two destroyers were sunk.
27 May, 1941
The English fight fiercely in Abu Haggag, Egypt. We lost again.
They are fighting for their lives, perhaps in the hope (vain) that the Royal Navy save them.
In the North, the Karussell is implemented to support and circle the Soviets.
In the south, things are going
well.
In no time, they will be
encircle.
In Jaworow, 1.197 Soviet
Soldiers lost their live.
Romanian troops conquer two

Soviet submarines in the
Pommeranian Coast .
They sunk one.
The Graf Zeppelin continues to

with experience and the Interception.
Situation in Asia
Dutch East Indies

are disorienting the
Soviet army.
Poltava falls easily.
Near the third Soviet port, Rostov-on-Don, Von Sodenstern, with is Infantry-Division is
stop by one Soviet
Infantry-Division,
but more organize and
attack from behind.
I do not foresee that
we can endure.
The other Infantry-
-Division will not
arrive in time to help.
Before shattering, we
give up to take
Rostov-on-Don and
prefer to try to defend. Rostov-on-Don is of strategic importance as a railway junction and a river port accessing the Caucasus, a region rich in oil and minerals.
In the north, something similar as happen and we had to stop the attack and even to retreat from the province that we had occupied.
29 Battles won, 6 lost so far.
Three English convoys sunk and one escort.
31 May, 1941 One strange day.
Although we imprison 1.000 English in Africa achieving almost a total of 73.000 English POW, we lost several battles in this day.
Abu Haggag, the remaining English province in Egypt still resists causing 802 causalities to our forces (German an Italians).

Almost seven thousandth soldiers capture in Sanok, former Poland, near Slovakia.
The airport near Poltava (where is the isolate 4. Fallschirmjäger) is being assault by the SS Infantry-Division supporter from air by the 2. Fallschirmjäger.

In the South.
Raeder, with not much to do, is order to search for Soviet convoys.
Two English Convoys sunk.
Reports of Operation Barbarossa.
In this day, I travel to Bucuresti the see the

Two more battle are lost. In the north and center. These Soviets are tougher than we expected.

The two others Infantry-Divisions under his command are to be picked in Alexandria.
They are renamed to I. OstenKorps
One of the three landing craft in Yugoslavia ports to repair has full strength to set sail to Alexandria to join the transporters.
It will sail alone, unescorted. But we believe that the Soviets have no ships in the “Italian Lake”.
Rommel joins the Motorize Italian Divisions in attacking the last English province in Egypt.
They defend with Indian Soldiers.
The 3.Fallschirmjäger-Division are order to board the Kampfgeschwader (Transport Planes) and air assault the port of Narva, eastern extreme point of Estonia.
Two English Convoys sunk.
04 June, 1941
Abu Haggag (Egypt) is finally taken.
The forth, is the one. After three previous
attempts, we finally made it. We lost 1.833
against 1.216 in all forth attempts. 16.196 Prisoners are made. Due to the strong resistance offered by them, I know that not all prisoners were treated well. We have now 89.149 English POW.
One English Escort and four convoys were sunk.
The three new Unterseebootsflottille Type V were delivered to our top skill(7) Vizeadmiral Dönitz.
The Graf Spee fleet load the remaining Infantry-Divisions in Alexandria and the 1.Marine-Sturm-Division to transport them to Mariupol (Soviet Union).
Now we just have to drive them to sea.
Dnipropetrovsk or whatever its name is conquer.
One more province and we can link with the Fallschirmjäger.
The remains of
Dnipropetrovsk's
Mining Institute
06 June, 1941
Damn, the province of Snihurivka has taken by the Soviets cutting the path of the retreating troops from Novovorontsovka.
Un entire Division was lost.
Hansen C. and his 8.307 soldiers, were
made prisoners and we couldn't do
nothing to stop it.
The first large group of German prisoners.
It’s not only the shame, but, their lives in the hand of the Soviet butchers.
God have mercy on their souls.
The Leibstandarte SS ‘Adolf Hitler’ is completely wears out, but still try to link with the Fallschirmjäger.
The Luftwaffe has wiped some “fires” in several locations.
Whenever a unit is at risk of losing the battle, the Luftwaffe intervenes with assistance from the sky, bombarding them.
To suppress the
losses in the South,
Raeder is to
deploy the troops
in Mariupol and
then to Mykolaiv
port.
There, they will
help to secure the
region.
Nine battles won, one loss.
But the Soviets do not give up easily. That is something that we already learn the hard way.
One Soviet Infantry and one Mountain Division try to free to the recent conquer Chotinu, against Reinhardt.
But our Panzer-Division is well entrenched, and they must cross the river.
They will lose.
Positions in Africa
Positions in Africa are well consolidated.
It only remains the connection between Egypt and the Italian East Africa.
Iraq is ours, missing only to conquer Kuwait.
One Canadian and thirteen English convoys are sunk
Three English escort are also sunk.
The Soviets sunk one German Convoy.
Jänecke with is Fallschirmjäger, are isolate in Poltava and being encircle and attacked by to Soviet Infantry-Divisions.
Nothing’s good may come of this.
Even though we fight better, I do not have any hope.
They are isolated, and we are unable to reach them.
They will be stories of the strong Fallschirmjäger under the command of Jänecke.
07 June, 1941
After Raeder left one Infantry-
-Division in Mariupol, it took
the Marine-Strum-Division
to take the strait of Kerch.
We discover one large convoy heading to the Soviet Union.
In Iraq, we're almost getting Kuwait,
but two English divisions stop us.
Our unit was disorganize and there
Gurkhas and there mountain-Infantry
were fresh.
Not only they stop us, but force us to
retreat.
And we are back in Taganrog, southern of the Soviet Union
As our convoys are becoming increasingly scarce, we decided to supply Marisol trough the Luftwaffe.
One English convoy and one escort are sunk.
09 June, 1941
The fights in the North continues.
This Soviets, do not only defend but also attack.
They are persistent, annoying and stubborn.
Here I make a tribute to our men in the north, with less divisions, and almost no motorized divisions, put up with all assaults, and manage to keep their positions, with few territorial losses.
The Luftwaffe seems like a fireman, to respond to all fires, with bombings, to prevent our men to hold up the perimeters.
Despite losing battles in the north, we’ve managed to send troops on time, avoiding actually losing any.
The Soviets try to attack Riga, and once more, our “fire department” interview.
Our proud Fallschirmjäger get Narva,,
in the east frontier of Estonia.
With this attack, we hope to diverge
part of the Soviet Army.
I’m proud of them, because they relive
much of the pressure in the Wehrmacht.
They are the tip of the sword.
The 3. Fallschirmjäger is going to take the ports in the North.
Unfortunately 4.Fallschirmjäger lost the battle of Poltava.
Before being caught, they sent us the report that 7,474 were alive, but would be made prisoners.
Is the second time that a division falls prisoner, and both in the south.
We lost the "Black Soil" resource.
The siege near Bulgaria is closed and secure.
Now we will take the airport there, to close any reinforcements, our supplies and then crushes them.
Three English convoy and one escort are sunk.
One Australian convoy sunk.
The Soviets sunk us one convoy and one escort.
In the south, we take Kerch, and now the 1. Fallschirmjäger are to assault Rostov na Don.
Because in Africa, things are not going well in Iraq (we are retreating, and with no reinforcements near), Raeder is order to go to Tel Aviv, to board the Infantry-Divisions there, and take Kuwait from the sea, cutting them from any supplies.
Von Funck with the 6.Panzer-Division is heading to Bagdad.
12 June, 1941
The Abwehr in a cover mission, infiltrate Leningrad, and saw few defenders.
Therefore we equate launching the Fallschirmjäger to try to take Leningrad.
Because the Soviets were trapped between us and the Hungarians we ask them to join the war, and crush them without mercy.
They accepted.
One second pocket
was created in the
south.
