June 1942

Eastern Front

The 4th Panzer Army continues to attack, widening the hole in the Soviet line. The Bryansk Front reels under the German attacks as artillery, armor and aircraft pound its forward units while it tries to bring up armor.

The 11th Army attacks Sevastopol, the LIV Corps sending an assault force of the 22nd and 24th Infantry Divisions across Severnaya Bay to land in the Soviet rear. The Soviet defenses are breached with little cost, undermining the inner defense zone. As Manstein successfully turns the Soviet northern flank, XXX Corps penetrates the Sapun Heights with its 170th Infantry Division, while the Inkerman Heights falls to the 50th and 132nd Infantry Divisions. The English Cemetery south of Sevastopol falls to the 28th Light Division.
