FIRST BATTLE FOR LENINGRAD

The battle for Demjansk was a costly delay. The soviets had time to build a new defence
perimeter around the city of leningrad. That's according to the
lataest air reconissance. Time is of absolut essence now, since any new
delay will cause greater casualties among the wehrmacht depleted ranks.
We have to take Leningrad quickly now, so we might persuade Finnland to
move their allied forces beyond their old borders. They will not deny us this 
new treaty, if our armies will unite at lake Ladoga.
Anyway the time of surprises has past now, but the russian army is still demoralized
after their streak of defeats.
