Richtofen's offensive on Brussels is a horrible disaster in Germany's military. Richtofen sent 80,000 men into combat this week, but only 10,000 returned. Such disgrace in battle has sent Richtofen home of leave...he will return in two weeks after he can "get his thoughts together."
Only time will tell the outcome of this crazy war, I'm Mmm...Donuts writing.

Brussels defenses are crushed, Austria conquers Albania, and we sign an embargo against SPain with Italy and Bulgaria with England.
A second battle of brussels occured this week under Hengist. He lead the new offensive there with only 50,000 German troops, because of Richtofen's losses there were barely any available for service, and even though these 50,000 died, they killed 250,000 Belgian troops and probably almost one million civilians. Also the bank and airport of Brussels have been obliterated.
And in the Balkans, the Austrian army conquered Albania. Now, MOntenegro is surrounded by Austrian territory. When Albania fell, its government was an anarchy, trying to become the threatening communist government.
Also the Kaiser signed a trade embargo against Spain with the Italians. Hitler signed one against Bulgaria with England. Hitler is gripping power in Germany, no doubt about it, but what will happen? Maybe he will become Kaiser some day...

Belgium is liberated and Bulgaria will be soon!
The third battle of Brussels this week was a gamble. Richtofen, returning from leave, wanted to command the battle to crush his sense of shame. He took command of 70,000 troops, 30,000 of them conscript TOW infantry just imported from Prussia. He was nervous about the battle, he admits to the media, but had "German spirit which helped him and his men lead the battle." 20,000 Germans who entered that battle will not return home, as well as two million Belgians have been killed this week.
Generally speaking, Brussels was the Paris of the war with Belgium. It inflicted some 150,000 casualties on Germany. But the Belgians have suffered more casualties-about 4 million at Brussels alone.
And also the Kaiser declared war on the Bulgarians. The Kaiser wants a quick war there to show that he is the hegemon of the Balkans, not the Austrians.

Bulgaria and Montenegro conquered this week! Now, says the Kaiser, Greece is the new frontier.
First, the battle of Bulgaria. An army under Hengist moved in directly from the north, from Bucharest, with his army of 400,000. Only 20,000 were sent into battle, no German casualties were recorded, but 10,000 Bulgarian marines were killed and the city surrendered. Their artillery was captured, and Sofia fell...and so did the Bulgarians. They only survived as a country for less than two years...and the Kaiser has ensured that they will never again become independent by placing some 500,000 soldiers there to crush uprisings.
And at Montenegro, Mobile SAMs have pulverized the defenses of Antivari. The city also fell quickly to Hitler's blitzkrieg, or lightning war. Now Greece appears to be our next target. Already near Salonika are German TOW infantry lining up, ready to cross the river into the city and roll to Athens.
Only time will tell the outcome of this crazy war, but i think Germany is winning (two conquests in one week, WOW!). I'm mmm...donuts writing.
