Eastern FrontCENTRAL SECTORFierce battles rage at Istra as the 2nd SS Motorized Division Das Reich and the 10th Panzer Division attacks the 78th Rifle Division in the town. The 10th Panzer is operating with just 7 tanks. The 17th Panzer Division pushes toward Kashira amid running battles with the II Cavalry Corps. The LIII Corps reaches the Don and encircles a Siberian division against the river near Donskoye. The isolated force continues to fight on, the LIII Corps' weakness preventing the destruction of the pocket. Boldin's II Cavalry Corps is elevated to Guards status, being renamed the 1st Guards Cavalry Corps. |
