November 1942

Eastern Front

Heavy fighting continues around the Rzhev salient as Operation MARS grinds on. The 20th Army continues to throw forces into the offensive but suffers massive losses for almost no gain. The VI Tank Corps, isolated by German counterattacks, continues to push forward into destruction.

The 41st Army continues to attack Belyi in a vain effort to isolate the German garrison. Despite minor local gains, the Germans again prevent the fall of the town to the Soviets.

The IV Cavalry Corps attacks Kotelnikovo, becoming embroiled in heavy fighting with the LVII Panzer Corps as it detrains. The 6th Army is also attacked on its southern perimeter as the Soviets attempt to push it away from the front on the Chir.
