Eastern FrontCENTRAL SECTORThe Belorussian Front renews its attacks at Zhlobin, the 48th and 65th Armies inflicting heavy losses upon the hard-pressed LV Corps and XLI Panzer Corps. SOUTHERN SECTORThe XLVIII Panzer Corps is involved in further heavy fighting at Meleni, it becoming clear to the German commanders that they are facing a major Soviet force. From this it is deduced that the next phase of the Soviet offensive can not be far off. The German 6th Army loses its hold on the Kherson bridgehead as the 2nd Guards Army of the Ukrainian Front closes up to the mouth of the Dniepr. |
