How much manpower left?
New divisions being built?

So if I get this right all of the Kreigsmarine's surface fleet is in the baltic. I would try to destroy the Soviet Baltic Fleet with them since they are both more modern and faster than the rustbuckets the Russians call battleships. After that is completed I would conduct shore bombardment against Leningrad
That would be the right move
if the Soviets
had a Baltic Fleet.
Shore-bombardment on Leningrad will commence once operations in that sector do. Until then it is wasted ammunition and Reichsminister Speer does not like wasted ammunition.
Interesting war.
Hoping for another landwar update!
Looks like you got your wish.
Good luck. But it will need more than one success like this to reverse the war...
Thank-you. It will require multiple successes, but each success is singular and must be fought on its own.
What would the verb from 'keck'?
Generally, a German noun can be take the form of a verb by attaching the infinitive "-en" at its end, though this can be very slangy. This process is most entertainingly seen in English words transformed into German - like the English word "to chill" being used by German teenagers as "Chillen."
I can’t find any sense in this slightly modified quote. Please enlighten me.
indeed, I believe Enewald forgot the Ls in both words.
No, I made a typo that I edited when I noticed my mistake earlier today, but I did not have the time to write a reply about it.
So the original quote could also be translated as "Commit it [the troops] in strength, in one place, and don't fiddle around with half measures."
This is what Guderian meant by "Klotzen nicht Kleckern": commit the vast majority of one's armored strength to a single place in the front rather than diluting that strength throughout the front and the term itself, by Guderian's own judgment, is slangy. It was very much a criticism of the battle-plans of WW1 where armies would attack the front across a wide front and would pretty much just make a mess out of their operations. Instead, especially in
Achtung! Panzer!, Guderian stressed that an offensive should commit at a single Schwerpunkt and commit one's forces at that point. He also made this point by making the analogy that one hits someone else with a fist rather than with one's fingers spread.
A random factoid about the term is that it was actually one of Hitler's favorite terms to use and one of the reasons that Hitler probably like "Klotzen nicht Kleckern" was its slanginess.
