November 1941

Eastern Front

The Kalinin Front begins a series of counterattacks against the left flank of Army Group Center. The 9th Army repels repeated Soviet attacks but have to divert forces from the support of the 3rd Panzer Group to deal with this threat. Heavy fighting rages at Istra as hand-to-hand battles surge through this small town.

The fighting at Kashira intensified as the Guard's cavalr counterattacked, halting the northward march of the 17th Panzer Division. The LIII Corps is unable to prevent the escape of the encircled unit at Donskoye, which rejoins the main combat line despite the loss of much of its heavy equipment.
