1. On the Eastern front the opponents still stood roughly in the western region of the Soviet crisis-line. No battle was fought yet that could have decided the fate of the war. 2. The Anglos made a huge effort to gain the control over North Africa. The Soviet demanded the opening of a second front, this could have been expected anywhere from Narvik to Crete. 3. The Italian army is in a very serious and troubling situation. Both it and the Italian people shows the sign of wartime tiredness, and their morale is failing. 4. The leaders of Germany, Italy, and Japan decides to set their countries to total war. (The topic of total war will came up in the upcoming, maybe it will be interesting to look back to posts like >>/34085/ later.) 5. The Anglos announce their air campaign against the German and Italian people to break the inner theater. 6. The submarine warfare after the successes loses its momentum. Anglos are cheering, Germans are silent. 7. Stockholm-Madrid-Ankara neutrality triangle doesn't support the Axis anymore, but oriented toward the Anglos. 8. On Europe's inner theater the subversive campaign flared up in never seen proportions. Rotting the morale of the European nations away. Political, economical, social sabotages are done by Anglo agents, and the still freely roaming Jews. 9. Germany organizes Fortress Europe, to repel the expected Anglo-Soviet attack of 1943 summer. I find this notion of "neutrality triangle" compelling. The three sides signifies the three fronts of the conflict, and these countries not just offer shields from certain directions, but also separates the Allies from each other. They also all guarding sea lanes to some extent. In foreign politics and intelligence gathering their benevolent neutrality also should offer benefits.
