Eastern Front

SOUTHERN SECTOR

Army Group F struggles to hold off the attacks of Tito's I Corps, the IV Guards Motorized Corps and 57th Army as they all converge on Belgrade. Despite ferocious fighting the Soviet and Yugoslav troops isolate the city, the XII Yugoslav Corps cutting all of the roads south of the Sava River. The bulk of the German units in the area are cut off, barely 12,000 managing to escape to the north. Heavy fighting erupts inside the city as the Soviet and Yugoslav forces press into the urban area.
