Monday, December 11, 1944 www.onwar.com

On the Eastern Front... Soviet forces are approaching Budapest, the capital of Hungary. The city is subjected to intensive artillery bombardment and air strikes during the day. A Soviet communique claims Soviet troops are within 5 miles of Budapest in the north.

On the Western Front... Forces of the US 7th Army enter Haguenau in Alsace and advances southeast of Rohrbach. There are German counterattacks against the US 3rd Army bridgeheads over the Saar River which are repulsed.

Over Germany... Over 2000 USAAF bombers of the 8th and 15th Air Forces attack various rail targets in Germany as well as an oil plant and ordnance depots near Vienna (annexed Austria).

In Liberated Greece... British reinforcements reach Athens. It is estimated that the rebellious ELAS forces number 25,000 troops.

In the North Atlantic... German torpedo planes and U-365 attack convoy RA62. The British destroyer Cassandra is damaged and the U-boat is sunk.
