In the Crimea, Soviet forces of the 4th Ukrainian Front continue to attack the defensive positions of the German 17th Army. Armyansk is captured. Meanwhile, the forces of 2nd Ukrainian Front (Konev) cross the Siret River and capture Radauti and Suceava.

In Burma... British General Slim, commanding 14th Army, prepares a counteroffensive. British troops surrounded at Imphal and Kohima continue to be supplied by air. The 33rd Corps (Stopford) is tasked with breaking through Japanese lines and relieving Kohima.

In the North Atlantic... German submarines U-515 and U-68 are sunk by elements of US Task Group 21.12 which includes the carrier Guadalcanal.

Soviet propaganda writer David Zaslavsky is bad mouthing my man Hanson. In “Russia at War,” Alexander Werth identified Zaslavsky as the Kremlin’s “poison pen,” who was only trotted out to write nasty hit pieces. He must have been a truly miserable man with few friends.

And if he thought Baldwin was bad, I wonder what he would have written about de Seversky.

Headline: "Pravda Ridicules Times War Writer – 9-10"

This Soviet attack on Hanson Baldwin reminds me of Democrats talking about Republicans -- makes you wonder where they learned their trade-craft.

And naturally, the New York Times prints the entire attack with no response in defense of their own writer!
Shows you whose side they're on.
