Eastern Front

SOUTHERN SECTOR

Fighting in the factories reach a peak as the Luftwaffe launches a massive raid. Heavy fighting follows as German infantry attacks south from the Tractor factory toward the Barrikady, striking the 84th Tank Brigade hard. Amid furious fighting, the brigade holds the Germans on Tramvaynaya Street. In the Tractor factory, the 37th Guards is down to just 200 men but fight on.
