In January with the order to hold all positions until the last man by Hitler,General Guderian traveled to Berlin to argue against this insane policy by Hitler. Hitler refused to listen and exploded saying "I don't want you to defend your positions I want you to push, push, push forward!" In February Guderian continued to oversee the withdraw of the forces under his command. Field Marshal von Kluge confronted General Guderian and relived him of his command and sent him packing back to Berlin.
Things look more dire then ever on the Eastern Front what will Germany do?
Had some good luck with my planes this turn and the CW leaving ships all around for me to go after.
Thanks for that Sully! You are an "officer and a gentlemen"
That's it for Germany this turn.
