German armies advancing in the east
Thursday, October 1, 1942 www.onwar.com

On the Eastern Front... Germans gains at Stalingrad continue in the Orlovka region. North of Tuapse, along the coast of the Black Sea, heavy fighting continues between Soviet and German forces. German troops are also advancing towards Grozny.

In New Guinea... Australian troops begin to move forward on the Kokada Trail.

From Australia... General MacArthur issues orders for the coordinated allied advances in New Guinea. US forces are to take the Kapa Kapa Trail running parallel to the Kokada Trail in an effort to entrap the Japanese troops between the two allied forces, closing their retreat at the Kumusi River. Landings are also to be made on the northern coast between Milne Bay and Cape Nelson. Wanigela is a focus for a portion of the landings.

In the United States... Fuel oil is now rationed in most parts of the country.
