The month starts out strong wth the Heer advancing into Kiev, Priluki and Riga.
The Kessel begins to take shape around the Pripet Marshes and AG Nord and Sud begin taking strides to their secondary objectives.
The Germans enforce the Total Occupation policy in the East. In the far north, the Finns and Huns continue to drive the Russians out of the peninsula.
A sudden Soviet counterattack forces the Hungarian unit holding Grodno to retreat. The High Command rushes forces there to prevent a sundering of their deep penetration.
The Soviets rout the first reinforcements coming into Grodno and continue their threatening advance. At sea, the Soviet Baltic Squadron has somehow evaded the Tirpitz SAG off Leningrad, sailed through the straits off Copenhagen and taken a post in the North Sea. (I thought the straits were impassable to foes???)
An airborne drop is made into Grodno to buy some time for reinforcements to arrive, while around Kiev the Heer makes progress towards forming two pockets.
A seaborne landing in Yevpatoriya sets the anvil for the hammer coming down from Kiev. The hole at Grodno is finally plugged before the lines are severed. Far to the southeast, Nepal falls to the Italians.
On July 5th the High Command announces two pockets formed. If the Soviets do not break out their losses will have an impact.
The last of the Red Army is being rounded up on the Karelian Peninsula. One German Korps is ferried from Murmansk to Narvik for refitting.
STAVKA reacts to the incursion near Sevastopol, as AG Sud keeps driving south to the Black Sea. The Luftwaffe continues to batter the Red Fleet at their moorings, allowing unimpeded movement by the Romanian Transport Squadron.
Melitopol is overrun the same day Tallinn is captured.
General van Manstein drives on Mogilev as the pockets begin to be reduced.
The news is all good on the 10th. Two Mechanized divisions stand up, the Heer gains an improved doctrine and an Italian division, and the southernmost pocket is formed. All primary and secondary objectives are met on day 20 of the operation.
The Abwehr displays their battle map for the High Command.
