June 1943

Eastern Front

In an effort to maximize the disruption caused by the partisans in the rear of the German forces, the Stavka orders the start of the Rail War, an all out attack against the railway network which supplies the combat forces of Army Groups North, Center and South. These attacks prove extremely troublesome to the Ostheer as greater numbers of men are drawn away from the combat line.

Despite the passing of yet another D-Day for CITADEL, Hitler is still not prepared to begin the offensive.
