Germans trap Soviets around Kiev

Tuesday, September 16, 1941 www.onwar.com

On the Eastern Front... The forces of German Panzer Group 2 (Guderian) and Panzer Group 1 (Kleist) link up near the town of Lokhvista, encircling 600,000 Soviet troops in a pocket which stretches west for a 100 miles to Kiev.

In Iran... The Shah abdicates in favor of the Crown Prince Mohammad Reza Pahlavi after the Allies decide that he has not co-operated in expelling Axis nationals from the country.
