Promotion (February 1943)

Zhukov
Marshal of the Soviet Union
February 1943


Being promoted to Marshal of the Soviet Union is simply surreal. The Germans picked the wrong country to invade in the Eastern Front. Our resilience prolonged the overall suffering of the Nazis and their pursuit of dominance in Europe. We have survived with minimal help from our allies. Up to the decision to launch a counteroffensive in Stalingrad, Hitler seemed like he would have taken over the Soviet Union. Our generals couldn't let the Nazis get away with their cowardice and barbaric nature.

We made the Nazis lose 250,000 men in the Battle Of Stalingrad alone. They had lost the backbone of their Eastern Front war effort simply by engaging the Soviet Union into this World War. I'm sure these uncalculated losses will have unprecedented effects on the Nazi forces. Hitler had miscalculated badly in his gamble of Barbarossa. I'm just honored I got to lead the Soviets into showing what we stand for as a communist state and nation. The war isn't over, but the Soviets may have just dealt what may have been a truly unexpected blow into the war efforts of the cunning and ruthless Nazis. The Allies will thank us for this.

Beginning of the End for the Nazis In This World War (February 1943)

Stalin, Stalingrad

February 3 1943

The Nazis refused to accept the ultimatum despite losing the Gumrak airstrip. We have pushed the Germans to the outskirts of Stalingrad. This supposed resilience was short lived as various German units began to surrender and after our final push on Jan 31, we had regained central Stalingrad.

Zhukov is already on his way to end the blockade on Leningrad. This is a proud day for Soviets. The Germans have been driven out of the Soviet Union, by the Soviet Union. What the Germans planned to end in eight weeks dragged on for two years. We have caused them inconsolable and definite irreversible damage to their overall war effort to reconstruct Europe. Their concept of Operation Barbarossa had failed miserably! With this loss at Stalingrad, Hitler has lost their war effort of the Eastern Front and we are solely responsible for that!

Hail Mother Russia!

Stalin, Stalingrad.
