Soviet Union - Hearts of Iron 4 - Post 3

27 Feb 1939: It's time to attack westwards. I've added the Mechanized and Mountain Armies to my Army Group West.
03 Mar 1939: The breakthrough is imminent
15 Mar 1938: I can finally research a medium tank, the T-32, the predecessor of the famous T-34.
05 Apr 1939: An important Focus is completed.
This helps eliminate the effects of the Great Purge. 
I choose Military Reorganization next.
10 Apr 1939: I'm trying to widen the gap in the enemy front....
...but those 3 German divisions are defending well.
14 Apr 1939: I decide to stop here because I have few reserves and I don't want to overextend.
23 Apr 1939: It's very tempting but.....
...my losses are increasing rapidly.
03 May 1939: I turn my attention to Silesia again and we have broken through the enemy lines east of Dresden.
05 May 1939: I hope to encircle and destroy a portion of the enemy forces.
13 May 1939: Almost completed and...
 …done on 26 May 1939.
29 May 1939: Mopping up.
31 May 1939: Mission accomplished.
 04 Jun 1939: Our forces are now dangerously close to Dresden and Küstrin.
That month of combat cost us 91K casualties and the Allies 312K compared to 63K Germans and 94K Italians. Not good.
07 Jun 1939: The Global picture shows that we have dropped to 4th place - overtaken by Japan! They even have more aircraft than us! We need more production...
