Saturday, July 29, 1944 www.onwar.com

On the Eastern Front... The Soviet 3rd Belorussian Front crosses the Niemen River.

On the Western Front... The advance of US 1st Army continues. On the left flank, the US 19th Corps approaches Torigny and Tessy. The 7th Corps reaches Percy. On the right flank, the 8th Corps crosses the Sienne River and moves toward Granville.

In the Mariana Islands... On Tinian, the American forces now occupy more than half the island. Japanese resistance is increasing.

On New Guinea... On Biak the last pocket of organized Japanese resistance, around Ibdi, is eliminated. On the mainland, near Aitape, American forces fall back at Afua under pressure from Japanese forces.
