Soviet Romanian front drives toward Bucharest and Ploesti
Soviet forces pushed from a bridgehead south of Tecuei to within 30 miles of the Rammnicul Sarat fields near Ploesti, taking three Romanian generals prisoner. German divisions and Romanian regiments fought fiercely as the Romanians reportedly attacked former comrades. A Malinovsky force built a Siret bridgehead about 460 miles from Bucharest, threatening the Galati Gap defense and the oil centers around Ploesti. Soviet advances encircled 12 Nazi divisions near Chisinau, while others moved toward the Danube delta and the Baltic frontier as Tartu fell and Polish front gains widened.
