October 1941

Eastern Front

The Sinyavino Operation has failed to achieve a breakthrough to Leningrad, despite days of bitter fighting.

Brigade Eberbach is just 2 miles ftom Tula and launches a direct assault upon the town. The defenses of the 50th Army, however, proves too strong, Eberbach losing many tanks to Soviet anti-tank batteries. To the south, the LIII Corps advances toward Yepifan to protect the open southern flank of the 2nd Panzer Army.
