You'll see that just barely over a month into the campaign, the Luftwaffe is already losing control of the air.

"A state of absolute exhaustion is noticeable...among all men of the battalion. The reason is...far too great mental and nervous strain. The troops were under a powerful barrage of heavy artillery...That the men were promised a few days of rest...but instead found themselves in an even worse situation...had a particularly grave effects. The men are indifferent and apathetic, are partly suffering from crying fits, and are not to be cheered up by this or that phrase. Food is being taken only in disproportionately small quantities." - Divisional Diary, 18th Panzer Division
"At the fighting around Yel'nya the situation is especially critical. The corps has been attacked all day from strongly superior forces with panzers and artillery. The enemy achieved a breakthrough at Lipnja which has not yet been dealt with...Constant heavy artillery fire is inflicting heavy casualties on the troops. In addition there is the impact of enemy bombers. As a result of the artillery fire, the evacuation of the many wounded has so far not been possible...The corps has absolutely no reserves available. Artillery munitions have been so depleted that no shells remain for bombarding the enemy artillery. For the last few days the panzer brigade of the 10th Panzer Division has been immobilized because oil and fuel supplies are lacking. The corps can maybe manage to hold on to its position, but only at the price of severe bloodletting." - War diary of Panzer Group 2
"From day to day the enemy air force are winning more the upper hand and increasingly interfering in the ground operation." - Field Marshall Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb
"It turns out that the Russians have completed a new, concentrated build-up around my projecting front. In many places they have tried to go over to the attack. Astonishing for an opponent who is so badly beaten; they must have unbelievable masses of material, for even now the field units still complain about the powerful effect of the enemy artillery. The Russians are also becoming more aggressive in the air." - Field Marshall Bock
