Red Army lines nearly broken in the south
Wednesday, July 7, 1943 www.onwar.com

On the Eastern Front... The battle of Kursk continues. Model’s 9th Army forces make only a small advance in the Central Front defenses. In the southern battlefield, the forces of Hoth’s 4th Panzer Army nearly breaks through Voronezh Front defenses around Syrtzevo but Soviet armored counterattacks prevent it.

In New Guinea... Japanese positions at Mubo are bombed. Australian forces capture Observation Hill about one mile from Mubo.
