I'd imagine Lend Lease would continue on until it becomes impossible to do so or has a declining benefit, probably by the end of 1943 because Operation Lachsfang against the Murmansk Railway and AGS moving up to Astrakhan in that campaign season would shut down everything but the Pacific Route...

Operation Trappenjagd ended on May 19th historically, and thus the freeing up of VIII Air Corps would probably allow for a quicker liquidation of 57th Army in the end stages of Second Kharkov. This frees up 1. Gebirgs-Division and 100. leichte Infanterie-Division sooner, as well as reducing the...

I didn't know if it would be an obvious opening, or something that's only clear to us in hindsight. From what I've read, AGN had sufficient force on hand before 11th AOK arrived to do either Operation Bettelstab and Operation Moorbrand, so that if the opportunity is clear, 11th AOK could go...

A source I had read said they weren't, so thank you for the correction. Can you go over this Volkhov option more; I assume it's something similar to what could've been done in December of 1941? Would it also have been an obvious opportunity to the Germans? One thing about the logistical...

It's definitely a possibility to do, although it comes with some disadvantages. For one, 11th AOK was triangular divisions with the nine battalion structure as well as experienced. The 300-series divisions, I'm assuming you're referring to the 4-5 that became available in June/July, are not and...

So, to generate some further discussion, I am adding my own thoughts to this. Specifically as it pertains to Leningrad and Nordlicht, the window for operations is from May 20th until August 19th, which is when the Sinyavino Offensive historically kicked off. This is a three month period, giving...

Historically they were sent North anyway in July/August.

Original idea is by @sillygoose What if, after the Kerch Straits are cleared in May of 1942 by Operation Trappenjagd, the Germans elect to cancel the attack on Sevastopol in favor of Operation Nordlicht against Leningrad? The port of Sevastopol will stall fall later, due to the ongoing water...
