Soviets counterattack near Gomel

Sunday, August 24, 1941 www.onwar.com

On the Eastern Front... General Konev leads a new Soviet counterattack in the Gomel area. It makes little progress. In the north the Finnish attacks continue to press forward and Viipuri is surrounded.

In the Mediterranean... Force H carries out another offensive operation. Aircraft from Ark Royal attack the Italian airfield at Tempio in northern Sardinia. Mines are also laid off Leghorn. The battleship Nelson is in support. The Italian battleships Vittorio Veneto and Littorio also come out but they move against a suspected Malta operation and there is no contact. The Italian cruiser Bolzano is torpedoed by the British submarine Triumph.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh... don't tell the Germans, it's a big secret.
It'll be a great surprise to them, if everyone just keeps their mouths shut.

So "quite" is the word...
