July 1944

Thursday, July 6th


Eastern Front

CENTRAL SECTOR

Following the destruction of the XXVII Corps, the XII Corps attacks toward Minsk but it is halted by concentrated Russian fire. Casualties are severe as the Germans rush the Soviet lines, only to be gunned down in droves. Panic begins to spread throughout the remnants of the 4th Army.

The retreating LV Corps of the 9th Army escapes destruction as it falls back to Luninets. This is the only unit left to the 9th Army.
