Soviets Drive Westward as Rogachev Receives Attack News
Soviet troops reportedly recaptured Rogachev on the Dnepr as the drive toward the west continued. German agency DNB claimed Soviet attempts to hold front lines were masked by Nazi offenses while Germany pushed toward Leningrad. Stalin’s high command issued a minimal statement of violent fighting on central and northern fronts. Rome dispatches noted an Italian expeditionary force moving to support Hitler’s invasion. Moscow and Berlin differed over the south, with Soviet artillery and tanks described as repelling a German-Ryssenian advance and annihilating infantry and two regiments, a claim contrasted by German counterattacks led by tanks.
