German army groups advancing
Friday, August 21, 1942 www.onwar.com

On the Eastern Front... German Army Groups A and B, (formerly Army Group South) continue their advances. Army Group A penetrates almost to Norovrossiysk on the Black Sea. Elements of Army Group B cross the Don River near Kletskaya.

In the Solomon Islands... On Guadalcanal, Japanese Colonel Ichiki’s force of 1000 men attack the American positions across the Tenaru River. The American strength and defenses are unexpected and the Japanese force is destroyed. The Marines continue to receive shipments of supplies and some reinforcements.
