On the Eastern Front… Soviet forces capture Chaplinka, thereby cutting all the railroad lines leading to the Crimean. Substantial German forces in the Crimea must now be supplied by sea.

In Italy… The British 10th Corps (part of the US 5th Army) captures Teano in attacks toward Monte Santa Croce. Meanwhile, the US 6th Corps attacks Monte Massico.

In the Solomon Islands… The US 2nd Marine Parachute Battalion on Choiseul continue to engage Japanese forces. This is a diversion from the intended attack on Bougainville.
