Krasnaya Zvezda
August 20th, 1941
German forces along the Dnieper river have been dealt a crushing defeat. After withstanding a short offensive aimed at breaking the two month-long stalemate of the battle for Mogilev, Soviet forces led by Major-General Ivan Bagramyan's 33rd Army launched a counterattack and threw the German Panzer formations back with heavy casualties. Further offensive successes have been achieved by the Red Army in the vicinity of Pskov and near the Black Sea, where nearly 30,000 Romanian prisoners have been paraded through the streets of Odessa.

Ivan Kopets has been shot for the failure of air operations on the Western Front. I wouldn't be surprised to see more aviation commanders suffer this fate, since the VVS appears to be entirely incompetent.
Large amounts of sapper regiments, independent tank battalions and railroad construction units have been raised and attached to armies across the front. Hopefully, this should give our units greater operational flexibility.
Northern Front: The Finns will soon be near Leningrad. Fortifications are being prepared for this seeming inevitability.
Northwestern Front: The 6th Panzer and Totenkopf SS Motorized Division made their way south from Pskov to re-open the German supply lines. The 8th Army counterattacked and managed to close them again, but the encirclement is thin. Elsewhere, attacks against German units continued, with the 132nd Infantry Division routed near Deriglazovo and the 123rd driven to the outskirts of Pskov by the 48th Army.
Western Front: German offensive actions continued with Panzer Group 2 attempting to flank Mogilev and Panzer Group 3 heading towards Smolensk. In one of our greatest successes yet, the 4th, 10th, 13th and the newly established 33rd Army launched a counterattack against Panzer Group 2's salient and defeated two German Panzer corps in the field. The attack culminated in an assault which smashed the 3rd Panzer and 10th Motorized Division on the banks of the Pronya river, just south of Chausy. Both formations have been routed off the field in disarray and are considered to be combat-ineffective for the time being.
The situation on the northern flank is uncertain. The Germans are now only 30 miles from Smolensk and our lines are stretched very thin, but we managed to launch a successful attack against the position held by the 14th Motorized Division and cut off supply to their easternmost units for the time being. Our attack also caught and scattered the HQs of both XXXIX and LVII Panzer Corps, which should impair German operations on this front for a while. To fill the gap in the lines, the Moscow People's Militia has been deployed north of Smolensk under the command of the Reserve Front's 49th Army.
Southwestern Front: The Axis attempted to strengthen their encirclement by cutting open a path to their leading Panzer units, but did not manage to advance much elsewhere. The 12th, 26th and 36th Armies launched a counterattack on the southern flank that proved highly successful. The 9th Panzer Division and the Hungarian 2nd Motorized Brigade suffered more than a third of their combined AFV strength, while the 16th Panzer Division has been mauled on the outskirts of Proskurov. Both the 16th Panzer and the Wiking SS Motorized Division are currently caught in an encirclement northwest of the city. Operations on the northern flank have not gone quite as well. While the 13th Panzer Division has been defeated at the head of the German advance, our attempts to cut off the salient south of Shepetovka have narrowly failed.
Southern Front: As expected, the German 72nd Infantry Division attacked the 9th Army's lines and reestablished contact with 5 trapped Romanian infantry divisions. It was too far to help the Romanian Army's 9th and 10th Infantry Divisions, however, which surrendered to Red Army units for a combined total of some 28,000 prisoners. Our cavalry units are taking advantage of the breach in the enemy lines to exploit westwards in the hope of precipitating a complete collapse of the Axis position.
To help reduce command difficulties resulting from over-extension, the 40th Army has taken over approximately half of the 9th Army's frontage.
Overall Situation: Only a few more weeks until General Mud arrives. Also, it seems that many of the German Panzer formations are operating greatly under-strength. Hopefully that should start having a serious impact on their fighting capacity, since our counteroffensives are starting to inflict more damage.
