Smith, Wesson, and the RODINA!!!

Chief of the Soviet General Staff Georgei Zhukov had front-loaded, gambled, and lost. Naturally he was ready when the NKVD came to pick him up at his headquarters in Orel. He smiled to himself and thought with a hint of humor: ‘In war there are no great and indispensable generals, only great and indispensable leaders.’ Perhaps, if he had the luxury of learning from his mistakes he might have developed into a first-rate military figure, a great captain of Russia, perhaps even of the world.
But in Stalin’s Russia, mistakes are not tolerated, not even by favorites. The general’s assistant had retrieved the small suitcase that every Soviet officer kept for such a contingency. It contained a change of underwear, a pair of socks, a metal cup and spoon, a bag of biscuits, some tea, and a picture of his wife. It was one of the bitter lessons Russian officers had learned from the Purges. The NKVD officers treated him with a certain deference as they invited him into the car. He gave a curt nod to his staff and the car was on its way.

Red Army Shattered! Kharkov Occupied Without Casualties!
Kharkov.- (from our correspondents) After the shattering of the Russian offensive last month and von Manstein's preparation of a new offensive against the Kharkov region in the Ukraine sent hundreds of German fighters into the air from bases in the Ukraine to scout the region. Much to the OKW's surprise, columns of Russian soldiers, infantrymen and artillery were seen marching along the muddy roads, marching east. This impressive discovery prompted Manstein to order the advance without further preparation, and when Kharkov was liberated not a single communist remained in the area. This surprising events simply put in evidence that the Red Army has been shattered by the superior forces of fascism. As such, Hermann Goering, Air Feldmarschal of the Luftwaffe, ordered a massive bombing campaign against Riga, while Hitler himself ordered three Panzer divisions to reoccupy the city, and several panzergrenadier divisions in assistance. After brief combat, ill equipped, ill prepared Soviet forces were either destroyed or surrendered en masse and Riga was taken without casualties. The morale of the Wermacht and Luftwaffe is at an all time high and Moscow is expected to fall before Christmas.

I cleverly put a ton of offensive troops there to counterattack against your counterattack, and then I come back and 24 units have vanished!!!
