Germans record advances of 50 miles
Monday, June 23, 1941 www.onwar.com
On the Eastern Front... The German offensive continues to make astonishing progress, spearheaded by the armored and motorized forces. In the north Panzer Group 4 (Hoeppner) has advanced almost 50 miles. Panzer Group 3 (Hoth) forces have captured bridges over the Niemen River. Panzer Group 2 (Guderian) tanks have made deep penetrations on either side of Brest Litovsk. Panzer Group 1 (Kleist) has made some ground also but the Soviet defense in their southern front is stronger. The Luftwaffe continues to batter the Red Air Force and disrupt the already exiguous Soviet communications.
In Syria... The advance of the British force from Iraq reaches Palmyra but the Vichy French garrison holds out.
In the North Atlantic... The largest convoy battle to date begins around HX-133. Ten U-boats are concentrated to attack the convoy, which at first has four escorts.
