August 1941

Eastern Front

Heavy fighting rages at Kingisepp as the XLI Panzer Corps struggles to break free of its Luga bridgeheads. At Novgorod, the 48th Army is involved in bitter fighting with the I and XXVIII Corps as the German southern group open its attack.

Fierce fighting rages around the environs of Kiev as the Soviets launch counterattacks in an effort to keep the 6th Army out of the city.

The German 17th and 11th Armies turn their attacks from the Bug, pushing toward the Dniepr and shatter the South Front as it withdraws. Stuplnagel pushes his forces east to the river line, while Schobert marches southeast toward the Black Sea coast and Nikolayev.
