August 1943

Eastern Front

Khotinets falls to the 61st Army as the Bryansk Front closes upon Karachev.

Heavy fighting rages around Bogodukhov as the 1st Tank Army attempts to bring up additional units to overpower the increasingly strong German forces. Heavy fighting also rages at Aleksandrovka where Soviet mechanized forces are trying to push their way forward to cut the Poltava railway line. The 5th Guards Tank Army continue to attack at Olshany but is held up.
