October 1942

Eastern Front

German attacks reach the northwestern corner of the Red October factory. Paulus has committed the bulk of his reserve and is close to the end of his resources. To the north and south, the attacks by the 66th and 24th Armies between the Don and the Volga and the 64th Army at Beketovka continue. The Germans move elements of the 295th, 71st and 100th Infantry Divisions and the 29th Motorized Division south to ward off the 64th Army.
