Eastern Front

CENTRAL SECTOR

At Posen the 8th Guards Army launches a strong attack upon the German garrison.

SOUTHERN SECTOR

The Soviets begin a major attack against the German and Hungarian forces still resisting in Buda. Heavy fighting rages around Sashegy Hill and Nemetovolgy Cemetery. The Hill is isolated after bitter fighting, freeing the Soviets to push deeper into the German defenses.
