July 1942

Eastern Front

To carry out the attack in the Don Elbow the 6th Army is substantially reinforced and replenished with 1 panzer and 1 infantry corps. The objectives of the 1st and 4th Panzer Armies are again amended. Instead of advancing toward Rostov from the east, the armies will cross the Don between Tsimlyansk and Rostov and advance on a broad front directly into the Caucasus.
