Germans bombing Moscow

Monday, July 21, 1941 www.onwar.com

On the Eastern Front... There are more German air attacks on Moscow. The Soviet authorities announce that they have withdrawn their forces from the line of the Dniestr River.

In Washington... Roosevelt asks Congress to extend the draft period from one year to 30 months and to make similar increases in the terms of service for the National Guard. There is considerable debate on the proposal.

In the Mediterranean... A major operation, code named Substance, is launched by the British Gibraltar forces to bring supplies to Malta. There are seven transports in the convoy and they are covered by Force H which has been reinforced for the operation. In addition to Renown, Ark Royal, a cruiser and eight destroyers, the Home Fleet has sent Nelson, three cruisers and nine destroyers.
