It has been over a month since I have updated. During this time, relations between the US and Japan have been strained, the Germans have continued their advance on the eastern front, the U-boat fleet has had moderate success and after reorganization Rommel has command of two panzer divisions and one infantry division in North Africa.
Sept 1, 1941
The attacking German forces are now within artillery range of Leningrad.
