February 1942

Eastern Front

Heavy fighting rages along the Volkhov as the 18th Army pounds the 2nd Shock Army. Neither the 52nd nor 59th Armies are able to break through on the flanks, leaving the 2nd Shock in isolation. Farther south, the fighting around Demyansk and in the Valdai Hills intensify as the Soviets strike the left flank of the 16th Army. There is continued fighting around Kholm as Group Scherer repulses repeated attacks by the 3rd Shock Army.
