Late May mud? Why was Operation Barbarossa delayed from May to June (regardless of whether the Germans had got embroilled in the Balkans)?

Yep, ground was still too soft from the previous winter thaw....

I think the Germans probably felt the same historically, after the first winter.

And Gefreiter Wardstein has it right for all later Springs. The German loves mud, etc.

Agree that 42 Spring is boring, but then, seems historically correct.

I respectfully submit that the blizzards and mud described above sounds like a reflection of the reality of that time. This encourages me to take a break from AE and fire up WitE again...

Also -

Hi, DivePac!

I forgive you for leaving the Dark Side for the other side of the AE pond...
