I think the WNWR should immediately mandate that ALL True Patriotic German citizens EACH own a Sturmkitten.....or maybe more than one....The German family that can produce an entire brood of look-a-like Sturmkittens that amuse the Fuhrer could be elevated to the monthly Sturmkitten Deutsche Family of the Month...getting extra food and petrol rations and a month long vacation on a Baltic Sea Cruise or Bavarian hiking / skiing vacation (their choice).
Alfred...where is my newspaper....I demand current news of the Fatherland!! WHERE ARE THE STURMKITTENS????
Sorry for the delay everyone! I went on vacation and it turned out there was no Internet at our rental house!
You're right...Karl does seem somewhat detached from his impending nuptuals!
The Wehrmacht thinks of everything!
Thanks
I kind of liked that caption as well. And sure, except for Paul, they all seem to be selling themselves through their articles.
Hmmm...perhaps the WNWR needs a Marketing Director!
LOL
Glad you like it! As always, I thank new readers by skipping a week or two of updates
You are correct! Forget Rocket Research...the Reich must devote everything to genetic research so the perfect Sturmkittens can be cloned!
Right here!

Its a good precaution that you made that warning

The 'Wehrmacht News and World Report' - Telling it like it is.
There does seem to be an undertone of either self-serving gloating (that one Martin) or self-pitying moaning (Karl, Erich). Oh well, if you don't have an agenda, then why would you bother writing, eh?
Thanks

Totally enjoying this! Subscribing now.

as ever, full of gems, the wee "did you know" column being somewhat sneaky, Paul is raising his whinging to an impressive level, Erich has a right cob on too ... and, of course, all spies will obey the instructions at the top of the page
Ok, it's all nice and well that these WMN&WR is hidden away in this board preventing Evöl Kommunist Spies and their Jewish Kapitalist Co-Conspirators from reading it, but it almost slipped my attention too! This might not happen again. I propose for the Glorious Department of Propaganda to inform me next time!
The 'Did You Know' column... My Bat-Vision is tingling at this very subtle showcase of foreshadowing!
I am rather disturbed by the Heer recruiting postcard. The fact that they are sending greetings from Florida does not bode well for Amerika... But then, as Martin is quick to point out, the glamour projected by the recruiting efforts is not necessarily matched by the realities on the ground. Or should that be below the ground, in freshly dug trenches?
As far as Czechoslovakia goes, the Germans produced this 'wonderful' map that showed how bombers from Czechoslovakia could menace pretty much all the major cities in the peace-loving Reich - clearly a menace that needed to be dealt with pre-emptively, before the Czechoslovaks started raining death from the skies in an utterly unprovoked attack...

Ah welcome back Alfred. A nice edition to the WNWR. The Sturmkitten was cute as always....I enjoy the humor in each issue, as well as the information on each subject, whether Heer, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine, or the Homefront / Technology / Politics. Keep up the great work...and glad you survived your vacation!! It wasnt in Bavaria, was it??
in acknowledgement of your latest set of brilliant characters, you've won Character Writer of Week, pop over here to receive your plaudits and discuss your favourite sturmkitten.
Well, how could anyone - spies or not - ignore such a polite request! Paul has only just begun to whine!
WN&WR: The Where's Waldo of AARLand! Glad you found it Murmy!
Thanks! I was going for something a bit different

That Czech map is amazing! How funny! As for the forshadowing: The WN&WR is nothing if no subtle!
Thanks KL, I'm glad you are enjoying it. I did survive the vacation (though my 7 year old and I had a close encounter with a shark (less dramatic when you realize it was about 2 feet long and doing its level best to avoid us), and it was in sunny Florida (no sign of Wehrmacht Recruiters - they must have been on another beach)
And here I am, breaking tradition by actually posting an update while I am the recipiant of an awAARd! Thank you for that loki100 its an honor to be honored with so many excellent AARs and writers around here.

Congrats on winning Character Writer of the Week award! This AAR and you deserved it!
Another excellent addition to the WN&WR archives. Although the bunny was nice (good job to that Hitler Youth member Hans), I prefer my bunnies cooked and not treated as pets (sorry Hans). Is there perhaps a large 'kitty' at say the Berlin zoo that might get entered into the contest? Surely a panther or jaguar or tiger with a little stashio?? Make it so!!

genius as ever, the expansion of the sturmkitten could lead in some interesting directions, poor Eugen is feeling rather left out by it all ... oh and game related - you do seem to be going very aggressive on the naval developments, carriers+Nav ... so without wishing to provoke innapropriate foreshadowing is this a UK-first strategy?
Poor Eugen seems to have resigned himself to the fact that sudden 180-degree turns in politics don't mean that the politicians are daft, merely that he himself is not cut out to questions the politicians' orders - I see a bright shining future for him in Hitler's Wehrmacht!
Oberleutnant zur See Karl Ritter might reconsider his opinion of carriers as soon as his precious SMS Köln gets blown out of the water by the Ark Royal (or something of its ilk). I will enjoy the look on his face - although, by that time, he might well be commanding something a little bit bigger, as he does seem to have found the way to climb the rungs of power.
I'm impressed with Paul Weiss's whingeing - he actually manages to take all the good stuff and make sure it ends up as a giant complaint in the end. Must say, by the way, if he fires 300 rounds in a few minutes with a machinegun, he's doing something wrong: the MG-42 (I know, still some years away in the future) was capable of 1,200 rounds per minute.

I oppose for Sturmbunnies to appear in the Sturmkittens Section. There are Powerful Predators and there are preys. Sturmbunnies are clearly the latter!
Perhaps this month's Sturmkitten is large enough?
I don't know if it is UK first exactly, but I always bungle the naval war as Germany going with submarines, so for this go round I thought about building just as large and cheap a surface fleet as I could out the gate - hence the focus on Pocket BBs and H/LC and Escort Carriers, then focus on naval tech and build some less obsolete forces that can challenge the RN more openly.
The goal is to pounce on british detachments and fleets with the whole KM and then run away, repeating with undamaged units until I need to recuperate the fleet. I don't know if that is a viable strategy for wearing down the RN, but I guess I'll find out. I can't even say the goal is for an Operation SeaLion (though if it seems possible, I'll go for it), but rather to damage the UKs ability to wage war long term.

His slow rate of fire is probably because he has such a slow and lazy loader...yeah...that's the ticket!
And Eugen, why he might even find himself commanding an Army one day with his attitude! Maybe even the 6th Army (wouldn't Paul be excited)!Hmmm...well...what about powerful prey?
