Germany Feb 1943
1943 brings difficult times for the German people as the war drags on and shortages of everything imaginable continue to plague the populace. Support for the war is starting to wayne as celebrations in honor of the Third Reich come to a halt all over the country. To compound matters the constant day and night bombing by the Western Allies has severely damaged the German infrastructure as war production has dropped.
The high command was planning a quiet month of February but some openings did appear and the Wehrmacht took full advantage of any advantages presented. Not to be out done by the Army, Reichsmarschall Göring's Luffwaffe inflicted considerable damage to the Allies as well.
Not to be out done by the Army and Air Force the Kriegsmarine got into the action also this month.
