Thanks to the unexpected help of the Russian Federation from the 21st century, the losses of the RKKA in the summer-autumn campaign are much smaller than in our reality, and the Wehrmacht loses a third of its combat strength and irreversibly weakens. In addition, by the end of the year the Soviet Union completes its mobilization activities, and the size of the active army becomes a record twelve million men—allowing divisions on the front to be rotated while preserving their combat core. The Red Army grows not only in numbers, but is also re-armed—both with weapons arriving from the 21st century and with the production of Soviet industry, which has shifted to wartime rails.

Rotation also takes place in the Expeditionary Corps. Soldiers and officers who gained invaluable combat experience return to their time, and others take their places. The Russian Army formation in the Great Patriotic War is again ready to take part in battles.

After defeating Finland and securing its northern flank, in spring 1942 Soviet command turns its attention to the enemy Army Group “South.” Ahead lies the spring-summer campaign—the time for the final expulsion of the enemy from Soviet land.
