Germans fighting in Stalingrad suburbs
Tuesday, September 1, 1942 www.onwar.com
On the Eastern Front... German units reach the suburbs of Stalingrad in some areas. The Soviet 62nd Army is in danger of being surrounded. In the Crimea, elements of the German 11th Army, comprised of German and Romanian troops cross the Kerch Strait and land on the Taman Peninsula.
In North Africa... The German attack weakens. Shortages of supply begin to have an effect as one of the panzer division runs out of fuel. 15th Panzer Division makes no gains, but engages in fierce fighting against the British 8th Armored Brigade.
From Tokyo... The Japanese Foreign Minister, Togo resigns and the office is assumed by Prime Minister Tojo in the interim.
