War at a Glance Opens Major Russian Offensive in Poland
Associated Press reports a broad Russian offensive in southern Poland from the Vistula bridgehead toward Krakow. Berlin claimed early Russian waves were repelled as fierce battles continued in penetration areas. The push follows a historic invasion route toward Berlin with the Red Army 90 miles from German Silesia. Concurrently, Budapest battles saw 16,000 Germans killed with 650 tanks lost as Soviet forces cleared blocks in the city and urged surrender. Elsewhere, postures shifted near Komarom, Bratislava, and Kosice as Greek civil conflict nears a truce, while Italy's Rena front and Milan arrests mark intensified Axis activity.
