On the Eastern Front… German General Paulus begins the fourth and longest lasting of his assaults on the city of Stalingrad. His forces have been reinforced with combat engineers and police units to aid in the street to street fighting which is now occurring. The Soviets under General Chuikov have also perfected their close fighting abilities and set up specially prepared killing zones to which they lure German advances. Attacks are focused on the Barricades, Red October and Tractor Factories.

In New Guinea… The Australians continue advancing along the Kokado Trail. They take Efogi and continue advancing to Aola and Moyola.
