Krasnaya Zvezda
August 13th, 1941
Officials within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union have denied rumours that the war has been called off. In other news, a major shipment of vehicles and supplies has been delivered to the Soviet Union by the British and Americans. Though the help of these decadent capitalist nations is unnecessary, their assistance to the brave Red Army's glorious struggle to destroy fascism is appreciated.

Northern Front: The Finns have made limited advances against the 7th Independent Army, but the 23rd Army had to retreat between 10 and 20 miles to consolidate its position, surrendering Vyborg in the process.
Northwestern Front: The situation has turned out quite differently than I thought. While the Germans do indeed appear to have outstretched their lines far too much for a proper defence with no reserves in place, they have decided not to abandon their assault to consolidate their position. XXXXI Panzer Corps continued its offensive northwards, advancing twenty miles before being stopped in its tracks by the 21st Tank Division. With no other forces to attack with, the Germans have left the 8th Army largely alone, allowing it to deploy in depth along their lines of communication. To help with any offensive or defensive operation, the 48th Army has been formed east of Pskov and reinforced with several divisions.
It is possible that the enemy is trying to reach the coast of the Gulf of Finland as quickly as possible in an attempt to trap our armies west of Lake Peipus. If so, they have a long way to go and (probably) little fuel to make it with. Regardless, it is hard to predict how the situation will develop on this front for now.
Western Front: The enemy called off the offensive on the northern pincer to rescue its cut off units, which it unfortunately succeeded in doing. We mounted an assault against the base of the salient again but made no progress this time. In the south, the German Panzer Group attempted to continue its advance but ran straight into our reinforcing formations. The 10th Army launched a series of counterattacks which forced the Germans back to their positions along the eastern bank of the Dnieper. The 18th Panzer Division has been mauled in the fighting and sent reeling out of the battle line.
Southwestern Front: Panzer Group 1 has somehow broken through the strongest part of our front and arrived at the rear of the 6th and 26th Armies west of Proskurov. The enemy's position is looking about as solid as swiss cheese, though, so I decided to deploy both of these armies in depth to try to retain our old position while also leaving open the possibility of withdrawal if things become too bad. The 37th Army has also been thrown into the line east of the exploiting German Panzer Divisions. As the situation stands, it's not immensely clear who is encircled by who.
Further north, the 3rd Army and 38th Armies have successfully launched a limited counterattack against German positions near Shepetovka. The 5th Army is still struggling to return to friendly lines while the Germans are still trying to cut it off.
Southern Front: The Axis have proven to be largely unprepared for our counteroffensive. Cut off and surrounded, the Romanian Frontier Infantry Division surrendered to the 9th Army with nearly the entirety of its 15,000 men; it is the first Axis unit to do so. The 2nd Fortress Infantry Brigade of some 9,000 men has been routed in disarray after a series of engagements with Soviet cavalry, suffering more than a third of its strength in casualties. Seven Romanian divisions remain encircled by the 9th Army; how many of these can be destroyed before the Axis mount a serious counterattack remains to be seen.
Overall Situation: It does not seem obvious which side has the upper hand at the moment.
