8 January 1942
Two days ago the Soviet Union declared war upon Poland once again the nation is at war, now positioned on the East Prussian frontier with the Soviet republic of Lithuania we will begin moving forces across the border within a few hours. My division will be among the first to engage the enemy and we are confident that they will crumble before our might. I am unsure when I may be able to make another entry as things will be spartan for some time to come. The Allied nations of France and The United Kingdom have also declared war upon the Soviet Union for this aggression against the peaceful Poles.

2 March 1942
It has been an arduous several months our forces have repeatedly engaged the enemy and driven them back only to face a counter attack which is easily repulsed, the enemy commanders seem to value life so little that they just throw it away in suicide charges. Word has spread that several hours ago after their superior officers were killed by their own men a large Soviet army surrendered near the city of Jurmala. I do not know how many men or other pieces of equipment were captured but this gives me hope that this war can now be ended that much more quickly.

3 June 1942
There is much celebration within the unit after breaking through hastily erected defenses in a vane attempt to stop the Wehrmacht from crossing rivers in Latvia the Soviet defenders began a steady retreat from our mighty forces. Today we celebrate the liberation of St. Petersburg from the vile communist filth that were running the city, the local leaders and what regional or national leaders we were able to round up are set to be executed by firing squad shortly. It has been decided that what men remain of my company are to perform the executions themselves, I have also been notified that I am being promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and given command of the Battalion after the Battalion commander was killed by a lucky mortar round strike by the Soviet defenders of St. Petersburg.

3 September 1942
It has been three more long months of fierce fighting the Red Army are becoming better organized and resisting us more effectively but we are still regularly winning battles. I have been promoted to Colonel with a field commendation to make me a full fledged officer, we recently liberated the ancient city of Moscow and many important documents were seized from the Kremlin. The war has bogged down but it continues, victory is less certain but confidence is still high amongst the men that it will come it remains unknown just how soon the victory will come. In late august another large force of Soviet men surrendered in the Impilahti pocket when spectacularly planned and executed assaults broke the pockets defenses and allowed our allied forces to defeat them.
