November 1941

Eastern Front

The XXXIX Panzer Corps, with the I Corps in support, enters Tikhvin and fights its way through the town. The 4th Army is close to collapse, having lost contact with the headquarters of the Leningrad Front and threatening the rear of the 7th Independent Army on the Svir. Elements of the 44th Rifle Division pulls back along the Tikhvin-Lodenoye Pole road, while the 191st Rifle Division falls back east.

The LIII Corps continues to fight off the 3rd Army attacks around Teploye. Schweppenburg's XXIV Panzer Corps, which has been earmarked to support the LIII Corps, is forced to deal with new attacks from Tula by the 50th Army. Heavy fighting rages at Uzlovaya as a rifle division and a tank brigade strike the German lines.

The West Front expect the next phase of German attacks from Volokolamsk and Tula. Zhukov proposes a number of pre-emptive attacks to hinder German redeployment. The 16th Army is to lead the first attack at Volokolamsk.
