August 1943

Eastern Front

Heavy fighting sees the fall of Lyubotin to the 5th Guards Tank Army. The III Panzer Corps is making the Soviet force pay dearly for every yard of territory. Behind the Mius line the 2nd Guards and 28th Armies reach the Azov coast and cut off the XXIX Corps in Taganrog. The XXIX has 3 infantry, 1 panzer and 1 Luftwaffe field divisions.
