Seydlitz-Kurzbach begins the relief attack toward Demyansk. The Germans have to overcome the Soviets around Staraya Russa before advancing toward the pocket. Heavy fighting rages around the town over the next few days as the Germans meet furious resistance from the firmly dug in 11th and 1st Shock Armies.
