September 1941

Eastern Front

Dietl again tries to smash the Soviet defenses on the road to Murmansk, but is frustrated by strong Soviet resistance. Once again the 14th Army draws away the focus of the German attack by launching an unexpected coastal raid.

On the southern perimeter of Leningrad, the Germans renew their attacks, L and XLI Panzer Corps battering the 42nd Army, hitting the Pulkovo Heights. Heavy fighting rages in Uritsk. The Soviets counterattack at Sinyavino and Mga in an effort to break the siege. As the fighting rages, the Germans lose the 6th Panzer Division, which leaves Leningrad for the center.
