Army group north 1941,
On the 5th of september 1941 (man with a mustache) doe's not order the 4th panzer army transferred from army group north to army group centre,
The 4th panzer army is use to encircle and (destroy) the soviet 54th army during it's sinyavino offensive in september securing the west bank of the volkhov river from lake ilmen to lake ladoga,
As well as the south bank of the lake ladoga from the neva river to volkhov river,
Holding the volkhov river with eight division's and the oranienbaum bridgehead with one division with all other division's of army group north and 4th panzer army moved to the leningrad line,
Conducting heavy diversion attack's all along the leningrad line to tie down soviet troop's,
Germany doe's not go for a tikhvin-svir river offensive in 1941 and go's for a amphibiou's crossing in the shlisselburg area on the 16th of october in a (osinovetsky light) offensive to link up with the finn's,
Keeping well east of leningrad and it's heavy coastal artillery and outer heavy anti aircraft artillery ring,
Cutting off leningrad and by extension the oranienbaum bridgehead from lake ladoga's road of life,
At this time most of 4th panzer army and a small hand full of division's from army group north would be moved back to cover the volkhov river,
Either leningrad and (oranienbaum) would be starved into submission befor the end of 1941 or by february 1942 german troop's can just waltz in with out a shot being fired at them and begin burning million's of frozen skeleton's befor the spring thaw,
Over on the east bank of the volkhov river some four hundred ten thousand soviet troop's from siberia that had arrived in the first week of december would be flinging them self's over the frozen volkhov river in a desperate attempt to lift the siege of leningrad,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Army group centre 1941,
With out the 4th panzer army in army group centre the drive on moscow would be slower,
In are time line that final lunge at moscow from the 15th of november crippled army group centre beyond recovery for the rest of the war,
So on the 10th of november (man with a mustache) issue's a halt order so that logistic's and (supplie's) (train's) (rail line's) (railway troop's) can be brought to order,
Army group centre's front line with out the 4th panzer army would be more to the west then in (are time line) but still would have a small hand full of unit's with in one hundred kilometer's of moscow,
With a planned renewal of operation typhoon some time in december with the hope of getting moscow befor christma's,
But by that time there will be over 1.2 million soviet troops from siberia flinging them self's at army group centre so operation typhoon would be cancelled as it goe's over to the defensive,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Army group south 1941,
In are time line that final lunge at rostov from the 17th of november almost had 1st panzer army encircle by twenty two soviet division's that had just arrived from siberia,
So on the 10th of november (man with a mustache) issue's a halt order so that logistic's and (supplie's) (train's) (rail line's) (railway troop's) can be brought to order,
With a planned renewal of operation's some time in december with the hope of getting rostov befor christma's,
But by that time eighteen more soviet division's from siberia would have arrived and would be flinging them self's at army group south so operation's would be cancelled as it goe's over to the defensive,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
XXXVI mountain corp's 1941,
Finnish unit's are deployed historically,
In may 1941 the (6th mountain division) is relocated to norway,
Operation rentier only has 3rd mountain division to secure the nickel mine's around petsamo then goe's over to the defensive,
Operation platinum fox is to be launched only after operation arctic fox has achieved it's goal's,
Operation arctic fox order of battle (2nd german mountain division) (3rd finnish division) (6th german ss mountain division nord) (6th german mountain division) (6th finnish division) (163rd german infantry division) (169th german infantry division) (9th german ss regiment) (388th german infantry regiment) (panzer abteilung 40) (panzer abteilung 211),
With in a week of the start of operation arctic fox the soviet (104th rifle division) (122nd rifle division) (1st tank division) have been encircled and (destroyed) with the german-finn's holding lake imandra (lake kovdozero) line by the end of july,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operation platinum fox 1941
With the success of operation arctic fox (operation platinum fox) can now be launched leaving three division's to hold the lake kovdozero area from possible soviet attack's from the south,
Operation platinum fox order of battle (2nd german mountain division) (3rd german mountain division) (6th german ss mountain division nord) (6th german mountain division) (163rd german infantry division) (9th german ss regiment) (14th finnish infantry regiment) (388th german infantry regiment) (panzer abteilung 40) (panzer abteilung 211),
Murmansk and the kola peninsula is taken by mid november,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Army group north with finland 1942,
With the fall of leningrad both a german army and a finnish army are freed up for army group north's 1942 summer operation's like (tikhvin-svir river offensive) (east karelia offensive) that is less then five hundred kilometer's from arkhangelsk,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Army group centre 1942,
This army group stay's were it is tying down vast number's of soviet troop's,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In are time line even with germany miss managing it's logistic's and (supplie's) (train's) (rail line's) (railway troop's) germany still came with in a hair's breadth of conquering the soviet union and by extension (continental eurafrasia),
The farthest germany got in to the soviet union would be unit's like leutnant jurgen schliep's company size panzergrenadier patrol that on the (14th-17th) of september 1942 occupied the astrakhan baku rail line at kizlyar and both side's of the terek river rail bridge to the south,
And or leutnant gottlieb's company size panzergrenadier patrol that on the 15th of september got as close as twenty five kilometer's from astrakhan and captured two soviet officer's with a map of the soviet defense position's,
Or leutnant euler's company size panzergrenadier patrol that on the 16th of september overran a soviet defense position seven kilometer's from the volga river some thirty five kilometer's southwest of astrakhan,
That night men of leutnant euler's company reached and spent the night on the shoreline of the caspian sea befor returning to elista on the (17th),
And it truly did not help that on the 12th of august 1942 (wilhelm list) ordered von kleist to divert both the III panzerkorp's and (LVII panzerkorp's) from there dive on grozny to support a drive on tuapse decisively dooming the effort's of operation edelweis's,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Army group south 1942,
With leningrad in german hand's there is no need for (operation nordlicht) so erich von manstein's 11th army can stay with army group (a) operation edelweis's,
As well as the hundred's of thousand's of troop's and the thousand's of train's loaded with hundred of thousand's of tonne's worth in material's intended in (are time line) for (operation nordlicht) can now be used for operation edelweis's and to build up for a planned (operation fischreiher),
And if army group (a) reache's the turkish border and or (persian corridor) opening up the middle east in late 1942 would turkey be pressured in to joining the axis camp,
Because of the turkish war of independence turkey had inherited a vast number of surplu's german 7.7 cm and (10.5 cm) (15 cm) artillery and (gewehr 98's) (light machine gun's) that germany had flooded the ottoman empire with in (1917-1918),
In 1938 the turkish army had a size of one hundred ninety four thousand troop's with it nearly doubling in size by 1941,
The western allied troop's and (material's) will have to come from some were like those intended for operation lightfoot and operation torch,
By the end of 1941 several german army corp's had been moved in to the balkan's as well as all bulgarian armed force's for the planned operation gertrud (i) but if turkey is pressured in to joining the axis camp (istanbul-osmaniye rail line?),
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In late 1942 the western allied option's were (operation lightfoot) (operation torch) (operation sledgehammer) (operation roundup) (operation jupiter) (reassessing the 90 division gamble) and or even a (japan first) with possible peace talk's in europe,
With the amount of axis and (possibly turkish) troop's and (material's) flooding in to the middle east the western allie's will need to do,
If the western allie's do (operation sledgehammer) (operation roundup) (operation jupiter) the axis conquer's (continental eurafrasia) befor winter 1943,
Or the western allie's can flood troop's and (material's) in to operation lightfoot and (middle east) but if they do that then there is no (operation torch) decisively turning the the axis flank in north africa or an entire german army tied down on garrison duty on the southern france mediterranean coast from late 1942 to mid 1944,
Mabe the western allie's switch to a (japan first) and open up peace talk's in europe and or after defeating japan flood asia with hundred's of division's suffering million's of casualtie's on the road from vladivostok to (ural mountain's?),
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eastern front 1943,
With the arctic and (persian corridor) lend-lease supply route's cut and the soviet loss of it's breadbasket's of ukraine and (kuban) the soviet union would be starved into submission befor the spring thaw,
Or by summer 1943 german troop's can just waltz along the trans-siberian railway with out a shot being fired at them and meet japanese troop's at lake baikal.
