Red Army liberates Kiev in the Ukraine
Saturday, November 6, 1943 www.onwar.com

Soviet soldiers in the newly liberated city of Kiev [photo at link]

On the Eastern Front... Soviet forces, under the command of Vatutin, capture Kiev — the Soviet Union’s third city. Only 6000 Axis prisoners are taken. Most of the German forces have successful withdrawn.

In Moscow... Stalin issues a special order of the day and makes a broadcast to celebrate the recovery of Kiev in the Ukraine.

In Italy... The US 5th Army continues assaulting the German-held Reinhard Line. No gains are achieved.

I liked the article on how the Germans were getting nervous about the Russian horde.

The Russians are coming, and they are pissed.
