Eastern Front

Elements of the Soviet 8th Army land on Dago Island.

The 3rd Panzer Army, having identified the build up of Soviet forces on the Memel axis, redeploys 2 panzer and 1 motorized division from Jelgava to Memel.

The last units of the Home Army surrender in Warsaw, bringing the bloody uprising to an end. In the fighting the Poles have lost 15,000 military and 200,000 civilian dead.

The fighting cost the Ostheer 10,000 killed, 7,000 missing and 9,000 wounded.
