Soviets Expanding Offensive Northward
Saturday, January 23, 1943 www.onwar.com

On the Eastern Front... Soviet General Golikov’s Voronezh Front try to widen the advance northward by attacking the city of Voronezh. In the Caucasus, the Red Army captures Armavir.

In North Africa... The 8th Army occupies Tripoli. The repairs to the port facilities begin immediately and are completed by the end of the month.

In the Solomon Islands... On Guadalcanal, American forces begin to make rapid gains because of the Japanese withdrawal toward the Cape Esperance positions. The Americans fail to realize the significance. The Gifu strongpoint falls.

In Morocco... The Casablanca Conference. The Anglo-American strategy discussions continue.
