Hallo zusammen,
there is little in the way of good news for ole Stresemann, these days. Two thirds of Germany's previous territory have fallen into enemy hands. Though at least Hamburg has been liberated.
It hasn't been a particularly good year for the other member of the Rapallo Pact either: Stalin now commands over a non-contiguous Scandinavian realm, as Anglo-Polish cooperation has cost him Sweden.
Down in the Mediterranean Kemal's ambitions have received something of a damper by an amphibious assault on Alexandria not panning out despite all the intricate logistical planning (i.e. a two-sea-zone convoy) involved.
Retreats/Adjustments are now due no later than Saturday, 6 PM CET.
Liebe GrĂ¼sse,
Charles
