Eastern Front

SOUTHERN SECTOR

After heavy fighting elements of the XLVIII Panzer Corps partially stabilize the Zhitomir sector. Hoth, using the XLVIII as his fire-fighting unit, directs the corps to the Berdichev sector, but the constant fighting inflicts a terrible price on the combat units, the corps being down to just 150 tanks.
